Connect a length of correct size hose to the overflow tube, run the hose
down the side of the radiator making sure any overflow goes completely on
the ground away from the pull of the fan, then after a good hard run you
still have a leak, then its the radiator, if no leak, then install a
overflow bottle. They will build up pressure and release fluid on the top of
the radiator as if you had a leak when you really only have expansion
overflow, happens a lot on T/R 3's & 4's. "FT"
I have a problem and would like to ask for help.
