Do you know where it is leaking at? It could be any number of places, although there should be some evidence somewhere.

That's an interesting product, I had never seen one of those before.

Okay, so problem solved. The old CSF radiator had a small leak on the bottom row. That obviously cannot be fixed. Oil check from Blackstone Labs came back with 0% for coolant (hurray!). I've got another radiator in the car now and was flushing the system out last night, so should be good to...

Alright, I did more hunting with tests on the cooling system and did finally find a very small radiator leak. It was never enough to drip, it just collected in the bottom of the radiator housing instead. Frustrating for a CSF aluminum radiator with only 13,000 miles on it :mad: (out of warranty...

I think they get a lot of carbon build up on that extension leading from the threads out to the cylinder, but I could be wrong.

Wow, that is mildly horrifying :eek:. I can tell you that from the dipstick is looks fine, but I'll have to run the engine and check it so that it is 'mixed' if there's any there.

Still searching for the leak. I did a cold cooling system test under pressure and the pressure holds steady, I did not have time to do a test while the system was running. The cap also tested okay. One thing I did notice is that the oil level seems like it may be going up slowly, either that or...

I finally had a chance to do a compression test today. I had to buy an adapter :). If anyone else needs one, I got it off Amazon (OTC 5607) for around $20 I'm not sure of the cylinder numbering on this car, but here are the numbers Passenger Driver Rear 192 187 180 185...

I finally had a chance to take the plugs out and take a look today. It doesn't look like any of them have any issues to me. Do these look normal? They grey stuff is nickel anti-seize BTW. I also checked around the water pump and did not find any wet spots. I may try to pressurize the system and...

I'm not even sure where that is. I have an electric water pump, where would I look for the weep hole? Just look around the general water pump area for water? Would it show up in a compression test on the coolant system? I'll try to do this when I get a chance. Unfortunately most of my weekends...

Is there any easy way to test this before I try to get it fixed? Or any idea to determine how urgent it is? Is this a job I can handle myself on these cars? The biggest job I have done before is a timing belt on my 94 Probe. Any recommendation for what else I should do at the same time or what...

Hey guys, I have a 07 GT with a Saleen supercharger and have been having a slow coolant leak for a while now. I fill the reservoir to the max fill line, and then maybe a thousand miles later, it is down to the low fill line. The system was filled and checked with the engine completely cold. I...

I've had better luck with the Motorcraft batteries than any of the slightly cheaper autoparts store ones.

I'll have to take a look again next time I down there, I'm probably just blind and missed it.

I'd like to know this as well. Whenever I've bled the brakes, I haven't been able to do a thing about bleeding the clutch line in this car. I've never even seen a bleeder valve under there.

Thanks Nick. How bad is the idiot gauge oil pressure indicator? Also, you would say oil pressure before fuel pressure? I assume that is because you are recommending A/F. And what exactly do I look for in the boost for a problem? Just abnormal behavior?

I just had a few minutes to look at the shop manual and the wiring diagrams. There is apparently a fair amount of circuitry in the wiper motor itself, more than I would have thought, but I would still suspect the switch. If the problem happens when you put the fuses/relays back in, you might...

It sounds to me like the wiper control on the steering column is bad as that is the source of the commands for the wiper motors and the wiper fluid pump. I'm not sure exactly how the wiper motor control works, but I suppose it's possible for the wiper control to short and command low and high...

I have a 07 GT with a Saleen supercharger and I'm finally getting around to adding gauges. Any recommendations on what the most important things are to monitor? I have 1 aeroforce interceptor gauge, so theoretically, I can add boost, AFR, fuel, or oil pressure monitoring to it as well. I'm...

I usually change mine when it starts to look somewhat dingy, which seems to be about every 3-5 years. I use the Motive brake bleeder to pressurize the system. It turns it into a one man job. You just need the bottle and the correct adapter for your car to match the master cylinder. Much...
