Re: [Chrysler300] Radiator problems

Mike,
    It sounds like a leak that only manifests at certain levels of pressure and at a certain level of the radiator tubing. The drain cock may be defective also.  It sounds like removing the radiator and have it pressure tested is in order. 300'ly,  ROB KERN

  I need someone with a real good imagination.

  Last night I went to a cruise-in down in New Smryna Beach. I opened my hood 
  and everything was fine. About 15 minutes a guy comes up, asks if this is 
  my car and tells me I have a serious radiator problem. So I walk up front and 
  here is my bumper and grill covered with all this green crap (antifreeze)! 
  And there are indications that is shot out thru the grill because there was a 
  stream of antifreeze that left a stream of antifreeze 5' from the car. In 
  front of the condenser were more indications of antifreeze. So I checked the 
  radiator. It was down so I added 2 liters of water (didn't have any 
  antifreeze there). I left and went home and watched the temp gauge the whole way 
  which never moved above it's normal operating temp. This morning I checked the 
  radiator. It's at the normal cold level! Thinking that just maybe what I 
  saw was freon I fired her up and turned the A/C on. Plenty of cold and only a 
  couple of bubbles could be seen in the view finder.

  So the radiator is at it's normal level now. The A/C work perfectly. Any 
  ideas where yesterday's antifreeze might have come from and why it no longer 
  leaks?
