Coolant reservoir leak ?'s
Is there any way to fix the reservoir in the first generation ls 400's instead of replacing it? Any one know what actually goes bad inside it?
Trying to save some $

MY 91 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S A HAIR LINE
CRACK AT THE OPENING OF THE SENSOR MOUNT.
WHAT I DID WAS APPLY PVC CLEANER AND SOLVENT
AND IT USUALLY STOPS IT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS.
I CHECK IT EVERY OIL CHANGE AND REPEAT IF REQUIRED.
THE COOLANT TANK IS $180 NEW.

Yes , the sensor comes off.
The hair line crack extends thru the
opening , it's about 3/16" long and hard to
see, but under full pressure, it shows
bubbling however slight.
I used regular PVC stuff that I used on my
darin pipes, I think it was from Home depot.
I don't put alot on but it is slightly built up.
