If you are talking about the lid with all the never open warnings, it is called a radiator cap. Did you lose yours?
|
no im talking about the black piece under it, its plastic with the X or star design. looks like its a cap or something
|
look at the first pic, its clearly sticking out and im pointing at it in another photo
|
its the piece under the coolant radiator cap. its leaking coolant fluid
|
thats actually part of the radiator neck assembly, but it's not repairable and
trying to jb weld it or something won't work. You need a new radiator. |

I don't know how this happened but I agree - you need a new radiator which won't be cheap.
And how did it happen? Dave Mac |
Well before I'd spring for a new radiator I'd get one of those double-syringe tubes of 5 minute expoxy. I'd mix the whole thing at once and glue the bejeezus out of that cap. It doesn't need to be pretty, just water tight. It should hold if you roughen up the areas you're sealing with sandpaper first.
If it leaks again then you're only out the $5 for the glue (well, plus any new coolant). |
well i did some ghetto **** for now lol i put zip ties in angles to hold it down and applied jb weld over it, its still leaking a tad bit because it hasent fully dried but they are litterally tiny drops. my coolant tank hasnt even lost fluid. i put it on like at 12am last night but still kinda gooey. i will apply more tonight when im not driving and i think its a fix vs a radiator
