Recently had to replace the water pump. While I was in there I replaced:
Water pump
Radiator
Thermostat
Radiator hoses
Reservoir hose
Heater hoses from firewall
Outlet hose flange
Now its sprung a small leak from the aux heater hose/90° plastic clip on elbow,
Another small leak from the Reservoir hose where it hooks onto the Reservoir outlet flange,
And now a large one under the new Radiator without leaving any trace of where it came from.
Also to note, before all these new leaks just got back from a long trip towing a travel trailer through Idaho mountains and Nevada desert without issue. But around town starts leaking.
Can a faulty Reservoir cap not relieving the excess pressure be the cause? Its nearly the only thing I haven't changed.
Other suggestions are welcome and wanted.
