I put in a new radiator that came with the o- rings installed on the fitting. it's leaking from the transmission line at the lower part of the radiator and blowing all over my left front engine bay.
Does anyone know if the original fittings had rubber in em ?
Ill take it off in a few hours when I get home I just wante3d to post this question because it seems like such a prevalent issue. I believe it is leaking from the lower line. Is it possible I over tightened it ?
I actually installed a second radiator because I was certain the first one was defective as it had the same issue of leaking- only with that first replace I put the o-rings in as they came in a little baggie.
I think i'm the defective one now....
I know this is written on extensively but its so annoying to have this happen I had to rant. at least it isn't negative degrees any more.
