Topic: Coolant Boiling

[Saggy]

I took a closer look at the neck last night.  I have no idea how it happened, but it is beat to hell.  Something must have fallen directly on the cap at some point when the hood was up.

I beat it around a little bit and got the leak down to just a pin prick.  Only a couple drops of coolant drip out after a pretty good amount of time.  But at this point a couple drops is way too much.  If I never see another drop of coolant leak from this thing it will be too soon.  I'm sooo done with the cooling system.

Ordered another radiator.  Should be on next weekend.

Thanks to all for the help!

good that you figured it out in the end - until the new rad comes in you can always put some rtv there and let it set for couple of hours, is not permanent but can get you around until you replace it

That's a great idea.  I'll see if it works.  I kind of...umm...beat the piss out of it trying to get the last little leak out of it.  I got the outer lip perfectly formed but that elongated the inner hole.  My patience was gone around 2am.  I maybe could have exercised a little more...finesse.

Glad to hear it will all be resolved soon.
