  Is it going out under the car or are there cutouts in the hood, possible s=
ide vents?  This is something to consider, as the speed you can make likely m=
eans a ton of air going into the engine bay, it has to exit somewhere.  You c=
ould have a situation where there is no air flow through the radiator at hig=
h speed.

 alum radiator (50x50cm x 8cm) developed a very small leak but it would only=
 happen when the thing got up to temp.  It was very hard to find.  You might=
 also try changing caps.  If it is not in the cooling system I would look at=
 the ducting and airflow out from engine compartment.  It could be a simple s=

 didn't help either. The difference between radiator in and outlet is 10=C2=B0=
C (50F). Not enough I would say. Maybe making the pump more slower? It was r=
