Merv your luck is rubbing off on others. My car started acting up today. Not sure what it is, could be an exhaust leak and the rear shocks or springs are making noise. All out of no where.

This is the thing with it..I took it out today, drove it around. It was a little moist and I could see a little bit of Coolant around the area where it looks like it's cracked. I kept driving it to see what it would do, since it's not even a drip..and it stopped..
I kept checking it and I kept seeing nothing. I then took it out on the highway and romped on it a little bit..kept an eye on things and when I got home and checked it..nothing there, dry as a bone..
I don't know what's up with it..maybe some crud inside got into where it was seeping through and stopped it.
It's not overheating and the Fluid level was normal..I'm driving it and seeing how it goes.

Where did it crack? I had the plastic part split on me about 2 months ago now I guess, couldn't really tell it was leaking, as it wasn't spraying all over the place or anything.

Yea..I'm about to park it and tear it apart this weekend. I was driving it earlier, and I noticed a crack on the front of the Housing as well..the back is getting more and more wet. It looks like it's about to go..I don't want to be on the road when that happens.

Got to love having 2 cars..

EDIT: It's back on the Road..I said screw it and bought a new Radiator. The old one was about to go, I smacked the spot where it was cracked with a Hammer and it shattered straight through.
It's all good now.
