RX-7 coolant leak

[man]

Just got my motor rebuilt 500 miles ago and I have been going very strictly by the break in process. Today I got back from a drive and all of a sudden there was coolant draining out of the bottom of the car. I just checked the hoses and can't find out where the leak is. Any ideas?

i had this problem once with one of my friends FC....make sure that the drain plug is not loose....or any of the clamps....becuz the radiator is mounted so that the hoses has a diagonal bend....u have a stock radiator? or after market?

stock, i looked and all of the hoses and clamps seem fine, but I'm gonna check for cuts or holes. Stock radiator.

u must have a crack....which u can not see wit just glancing at it....its just a trial and error thing i guess.. but good luck man

You will need to wipe everything down and locate the leak first. There are several places that it can leak from.

^what they said :tongue: that stuff builds up quite a bit of pressure so i say start it up and look for the leak, but make sure u keep an eye on ur coolant level!!!
