So yesterday i did a complete rad flush, new rad hoses and heater hoses along with new t-stat... Test drove it after I was done and it was great, made several trips that day and no problems.

Today I drive it and as soon as i get out it's pissing coolant from underneath where the lower hose enters the radiator... It's not the lower hose or the connection leaking, its coming out right below where the trans cooler line enters underneath the lower rad hose, basically its leaking from the left lower corner of the radiator....

Any thoughts, anyone have a similar experience? Hoping i dont need a new rad...

 

bump, help, daily driver, gotta work tomorrow, already dark

 

Make sure it is radiator leaking and then replace it.
If it is aluminum/plastic radiator you can adjust tabs by pliers.

 

Sounds like you didn't get the hose on right and it's spewing out. Once it's cool pull the hose off and check it.

 

So I put all new hose clamps on when i replaced the hoses, and knowing that the lower went intoa PLASTIC fitting it tightened it but didnt really bear down on it for fear of crushing the plastic fitting...

Well, its tight enough now and no more leaks... Live and learn! Thanks to those who replied
