Problem with my new sport trac

[kcirtap]

Hello Everyone. Just bought a new to me 2007 sport trac. All was good. Till the day i drove it home. Check engine came on and the dealer said it was casue he gased the car while it was running. Said to drive it around and it would go away. Well 5 days later and problem is still there. Dealer booked me a service apt for next wednesday to have it looked at. (free of charge of course). Well today i was doing alittle investigating and low and behold i found the radiator resorvoir is empty and found what seems to be a leak. Car is not over heating, always normal operating temps. But the fan is always on. here are the pictures of where it is leaking.....

cracked radiators are pretty common in 06 and 07's from both engines.

thanks for the quick reply. Yeah a google search seems to have brought up alot of radiator cracks complains. Wow. Sucks. Good thing is car is under warrantie from dealer and he will have to fix it. How the mechanic missed this during my inspection before purchase i have no clue....

The tanks are plastic and not repairable. They will just have to put in a new radiator. Not a difficult job.
