I would replace the radiator. The radiator has plastic end caps and and they will leak sometimes where they seal with the metal core of the radiator.

SOURCE: I have a leak on

If it's a small leak, wait til the radiator is cold and you can seal the outside of it with JB Weld or another temperature-capable epoxy. If it's cracked badly, you'll need a new radiator.

SOURCE: radiator leak

The hose that attaches the upper pipe on the driver side could be crack over the clamp could be loose. Loosen the clamp completely and remove the hose from the radiator. Check the hose for cracks and if there are any replace the whole hose. If not, replace the clamp. Remove the old clamp and get a new one that is the exact size or very similar. place the clamp on the hose, install hose back to radiator and tighten. If this does not solve your problem have the vehicle checked out by the certified automotive technicain.

SOURCE: radiator leak 99 Ford Expedition back drivers side

You are likely leaking coolant from a heater line or hose,check the hose that comes from the water pump{smaller of the two] and see if it has a leak in it or if there is just a loose hose clamp.If you can't find a leak in the hoses or any steel tubes then you need to take it to a radiater shop and have it pressure tested to see if you have a leak in the intake manifold gasket or maybe even the head gasket,good luck.

I am having difficulty locating it. I need to know how to locate and replace a thermostat on a 2002 ford escape

Follow the top radiator hose down to where it connects to the engine. You should find a dome shape item or a couple of smaller bolts that attach to the engine to the side of the radiator hose and the thermostat will be inside the housing. You will need to drain the radiator, remove the bolts holding the thermostat housing to the engine and remove the old stat and put in a new one be sure to make note of how the stat is facing when you remove it and put the new one in the same way. then reconnect the thermostat housing making sure the gasket is in place so it won't leak, then refill the radiator slowly so you don't cause an air lock in the radiator, with cap still off start the engine and allow it to warm up until the stat opens and then you will need to add more antifreeze to the system. Double check for any leaks. Turn on the heater and make sure you have good heat and you should be good

there are two screws on the sides of the that plastic plate (it helps to guide air through the radiator) and you should be able to see where the damage is. you should be able to replace the radiator.

If it was low, more then likely, your temperature would rise. Have you checked to see if the belt is making the noise or the tire? Is it just while you accelerate? You may have a vacuum leak.

How do you remove headlight unit on volvo v70 2002

Hedadlight removel Volvo V70 2002

Yes the full front bumper has to be removed. Not as bad as it sounds just take your time. One fixing screw in each wheel arch, two bolts behind black bumper trim each side of no. plate, and five or six plastic
plugs on slam panel. Remember to unplug fog lights if fitted. The lamp unit can then be removed secured by thee bolts two on slam panel and one on the inner side of the lamp near the radiator and a clip on the outer side, obvious when you take a good look and dont try to rush.
I hope this will help anyone else.

My 2002 Impala has an A/C leak. The leak is on the driver's side around the top of the radiator but I'm unable to see the actual leak. Is this a condenser issue or possibly just an o-ring?

On my 2002 3800 V6 Impala the leak was at the bottom of the condensor on the drivers side. On mine the condensor connections were near the bottm driver's side. If you sure it's at the top, it's pretty certain to be the condensor.
I replaced my own. As I recall, the condensor was less than $100.
