    Leak! I hope its not what i think it is

    Hello everyone for the past few weeks I have had a coolant leak
    and have to put in some antifreeze every couple of weeks

    now here are some pictures and a video of my issue any diagnosis?

    my expansion tank is dirty and i think it looks like dried anti-freeze







    this is a video of something i saw on the top right of radiator, could this be my problem

    Couldn't her the video on my phone, but it looks like maybe the expansion tank cap.

    Any play around the hose connection itself? Agree with what K said above that it looks like it is coming down from the top, like it would be coming down from around the cap.

    so it is the expansion tank?
    I figured it was the radiator, the bubbling in the video was on top of the radiator

    +1. Definitely looks like it's coming from the attachment at the radiator. Time to replace that asap. You don't want that cracking all the way on you.

    Yeah man-- now that I've seen the video, the radiator definitely looks like your issue.
