Hi guys,
I have an unusual radiator problem with a 99 TJ Sport. It has 73,000 miles now, and at the 60,000 check last year the dealer said the radiator was weeping at the seam. Nothing urgent, so I filed it away in the "later" bin and started checking the coolant more. This weekend I took a 3-hour trip and didn't lose any, then when I woke up it was a half gallon low (puddled under the Jeep). I topped it off and now it hasn't leaked on the 3-hour return trip or since. I noticed that if I park it with the nose down a slight slope, it doesn't ever leak. Does that seem typical at all of a radiator problem, or could I be looking at hose issues too? I stuck my head in and could see a wet radiator seam, but I can't see where the serious leak is coming from (when it does).
thanks in advance for any advice! Probably need the neat 3-core radiator the last radiator posters needed, huh? :)
Matt
