Re: leaking coolant, 85 SAAB 900 Posted by Dana [Email] (#2822) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Dana) on Mon, 23 Jun 2003 17:20:14 In Reply to: leaking coolant, Stacey Synness, Sun, 22 Jun 2003 16:41:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I also have a 85 900....
There is nothing at the rear of the car which has coolant. But it is possible to run over it if the coolant is dropping more forward on the car in the vacinity of the plastic coolant expansion tank. There are three things which can leak...
1. The small plastic hose nipple on the tank which faces forward which goes to the top left side of the radiator. It tends to crack and leak when the tank becomes brittle from age.
2. The larger hose connection from the side of the expansion tank to the top of the engine. Look at the hose connection to the tank.
3. The pressure relief cap on the top of the expansion tank.
Attached picture is a picture of my expansion tank (and fuel lines) just before I had to change them....
