RAGDOLL MX Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 definatley antifreeze,,,heater core..hose...freezeplug.. get a pressure tester and check and see if you loose pressure and that will give you a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAGDOLL MX Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 go to auto zone and get a pressure tester....pump it up..let it sit for about 5 min...and look at the pressure..if it goes down the you have a leak....then the fun part...find the leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUn2it Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) first thing to pop into my head would be a coolant leak Seems like it would pop out of your head :clown: Might be just a connection barely seeping coolant and a lot of AC uses the heater to regulate temp and it's evaporating off, if you don't notice a coolant loss. I've had a leaking heater core a few times. Edited May 25, 2009 by RUn2it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
