Leaking coolant!!! Help!!
My 95 XJ leaks probably about 4oz of coolant every time I start it up from dead cold and let it warm up for 15 min. If I start it and go it will not leak nor will it leak even If i go on a long trip. Only when i let it idle warming up. It seems to be coming from the radiator...why would it do this???

It's a cold leak. Probably have a small crack or solder seam leak that leaks when cold but when the metals expand heating up seals itself good enough to drive. Take it to a radiator shop and they can fix it for far less than a new radiator would cost.

I personally would take the oportunity and put a nice 3 row all metal radiator in if it was me.. dpgoffroad.com sells the CFS ones for like 170ish...well worth the upgrade over the stock setup.. If you have the extra cash that is.
