- 2002 Explorer XLT 4.6L
Hi I'm max I'm new here. I have an 02' explorer XLT 4.6L that I purchased from a lady almost a year ago. I bought it with a bad coolant leak. I had that fixed there was a crack in the intake manifold (very common). I purchased the new IM at o'rileys and haven't had any problems with my explorer since it has been installed almost 10,000 miles ago.
Last night I was headed to the grocery store when I stopped at a light and noticed smoke. I immediately pulled over and checked under the hood to find coolant on the passenger side of the engine bay and no real clue on where it was coming from. I headed back home and parked it.
This morning I ran (idle) the vehicle up to temperature and again it started to smoke and smell coolant.
Finally I had found the culprit after 30 mins of looking.
It's spitting coolant out of three pin holes from this "cap"
I would appreciate any info on this part and info on what it does.
I appreciate any help you all will be willing to give.
