I hope you are right about your first overflow point. There was a small pool in the frame. Probably overflow becuase the dripping has not been consistant. I intend to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the eye-opener
Fingers crossed again...heheh

Been checkin everything...no leaks...must have been overflow.
Whew... :o I'm glad that was it. I'll keep checkin tho, the weather is slowly improving, so almost time to get right under and have a real look

I have had such terrribl luck with my coolant systems. The frost plug blowout, the fried thermostat, the dead coolant temp gage, the last thing I needed was a hole in my radiator.
I need a hole in the rad like a need a hole in the head So far the leaking (or dripping)has ceased.
I'll keep you all up to speed

Well, I drove the car pretty heavily last night, hard accels and hard stops etc. Well, this morning I found a few drops of coolant on the driveway. Hmmm, could it be from hard driving?? I wouldn't think so..
Anyway, I looked underneath and the bottom of my rad is pretty corroded. I'd say time for a new one. Any ideas on how much that will run me for my car?

I dont know how much they go for but I would suggest checking the junkyards before buying it retail. You would save alot money doing it that way Id say at least $75 easy.
Good Luck on that one.
