    Found Coolant Leak...Still Need Help!

    I found a tech article about getting a 5/8 to 3/4 heater hose repair kit. Do I need to Drain the System to install the bypass?? Or could I just unhook the hoses and install the bypass?

    Car smeels like Pan Cake Syrup...Heater core problems.

    It's not leaking by the firewall or into the passanger side so I'm not too worried. It only makes the sounds when it is being turned on or off. It's just the smell. But the smell goes away after a minute or two.

    Would Changing Radiator Mess with Oil Pressure?

    I didn't think they had anything to do with each other. The gauge stays right in the center and only fluctuates a little so I'm not worried. The car runs smoother from flushing the system and having a new radiator though. Thanks

    Would Changing Radiator Mess with Oil Pressure?

    I changed my Radiator out since it was leaking and the fluid was old. With a new 3 row and new 50/50 coolant after I reconnected tha battery it seemed my oil pressure gauge would now fluctuate. It used to stick in the middle and not really move unless I hit the gas. Now it has more...
