two weekends ago, the engine bay on my silverado was covered in coolant. found out that my heater/core fitting had snapped shortly after i entered a 7 mile bridge (luckily i made it to my destination). took me a while to take out, replace & clean the engine bay.

then last week, i replaced my rear brakes with all new parts. then today, i was planning to seafoam my XJ during my break to prepare for a CA smog inspection. low & behold what do i see, a puddle of green underneath the front of the engine saying "hello" to me. i didn't really see where it's leaking from cause i was on a quick break, but i'm guessing it's from the lower radiator hose. i hope it's nothing serious.

if it's not one car it's the other one.....& when that happens then i hear it from the wife. haha

I had a 95' Grand Cherokee Limited and a I still have a 89' Cherokee Limited. Both within 2 days started overheating and shooting coolant everywhere. Both I had to replace the thermostat and radiator hoses. My brother in law decided when I was at work he was going to help my wife (his sister) and fill the 95' up with coolant (it was low) he filled the radiator and the tank to the brim with 100% coolant not 50/50 and guess what it overheated 5 mins later and sprayed coolant everywhere. The ZJ smelled like coolant for a week

Ya it sucked badly lol But I drove it into a big mud hole and then I smelled mud instead of coolant lol

well mud is organic so that's better in terms of smell versus coolant. haha
