Re: [Chrysler300] coolant leak

[Robert Merritt <okbobwynmer@xxxx>]

Rich, How much space between the heater hoses and clamps to the firewall? Most heater tubes thru the firewall have a small hole on the bottom side about an inch from the end of the metal tube. That lets you start the noses on and bleed the air out of the heater core and then when the air is expelled and fluid runs from the hole the hoses should be pushed almost to the firewall and the clamp close enough to the firewall to seal off the bleed hole when tightened. If your hose and/or clamp isn't close to the firewall, try loosening the clamp and moving hose and clamp closer and see if this solves the problem. It only takes a few minutes and sure beats pulling the heater core out and after checking and not finding any leaks, THEN noticing the bleed holes.

I have a small coolant leak in my 300G that I can't quite figure. I 
find the coolant on the firewall. It seems like it might be coming from 
the plug in the firewall that is located to the right and just below the 
heater box (looking from the front of the car). Before I take it to the 
local radiator shop I would like to see if anyone can determine where it is 
coming from. Thanks!
