it seems that this week, god hates me. he is the little kid on an ant hill with a magnifying glass. apparently monday night, i ran over something in the road. i found out tuesday morning with 2 flat rear tires. so i put the pair of 215r15's on from my grand maqruis. yes, it looks weird, but its burnout central :burnout: ok. today, it took me 20 mintues of stop and go to get off base. its about 75 degrees out, nothing substantial. and as i leave, i notice that my temp gauge matches my full fuel guage. my baby starts smoking, as soon as i get out the gate, so i turn around and take it too my squadron. upon further inspection, it is leaking copious (yes) amounts of coolant from the lower half of the right side (where the ac compressor is). i also found a leak on the bottom of the left side. i could not repair because of the heat. and i couldnt get too good of a look because of the steam.
PLEASE!!!!!!! has this happened to anybody?! i would like to know. its probably a loose tube, but i wanna be certain, and i wanna let everyone know. thank you!!!!!!

Tough to pin point w/o being there. But I be suspect of the t-stat sticking closed and causing a coolant hose failure.
Isn't the t-stat in the area you indicated as having the leak? I believe so.

-ryanIf you're leaking from both lower sides, I'd say head gaskets or freeze plugs(not likely).
