im having cooling issues w/ my car, gets too hot. and finally i found a leak in the radiator which wasnt there before.
im wondering if a busted thermostat that remains closed would cause enough backed up pressure in the radiator to bust it. is this possible?
i recently installed a new thermostat and fan switch, both of which are at the same temp rating. i ran the car until it got warm and removed the resevoior cap. didnt look like the water was cycling as the radiator fan was on.
what can i do to fix the radiator other than buyin a new one?
