Radiator Fluid that is. My temp guage showed 117 and i was out hot dogging it when I should have been easy on the beast. I pulled up to a speed shop and when i left I saw a big puddle of green ooze, the temp guage was on the H, and I just didnt notice it. I let it cool off and loosened the cap to releive pressure and it was fine. Tomrrow ill add some more fluid to replace what was lost. any thing else I might want to check?

Easy/low cost checks:

Thermostat
Fluid level
Radiator debris blocking flow
Electric cooling fan operation
Collapsing hoses

My T-stat went 3 times between 7,000mi-20,000mi. That would be


my guess as too the problem.

Make sure that you add at the pipe, not just at the resevior.
