- I was driving and the truck started to overheat and smoke, so i pulled over at a gas station and found that all the coolant/water that was in my radiator had formed a small lake under my truck. I got it home and found it was the Radiator Drain Plug that had broken. I got a new one the next day($5 from AdvanceAuto) and replaced it.
Yo bro this actually helped me a lot this was exactly what happened with my Honda
Accord ? 2001?
I took my Ford to the mechanic. Because it was leaking and it caused smoke. They charge me 630 dollars just to change casket. And find out to replace casket cost 68 to 100.Now I put in coolent the whole thing gets out. I went back to mechanic. To fix the problem. Now I gotta wait into Monday. There's no honest mechanic.
thanks man, 96 ford ranger here, just started leaking, looking for the plug now but this is exactly my problem.
Advance auto parts had the Ford size plugs with the threaded insert that goes in.
Yeah I just gotta get eyeballs on it so i know what I'm doing. Not as much room in the rangers as there are in your full size model.
I'm having the same problem. leaking from the same area. thanks. I hope that was the problem for me
thanks this video was helpful. my car is doing the same thing... darn cars... lol
Always something.
I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla where is this plug on my car? It’s over heating within minutes and it’s a fast leak of coolant leaving the car and the temperature gauge goes right up to HOT , I didn’t blow the head gaskets thank goodness 😅
fuking things , i got a coolant leak now up front by the rad , this be the damn 3rd time i have it back for the same shit , well they should be able to see this leak clearly , im gonna make the dude lay on the ground til the damn coolant drips in his eyeball
manual cars have two plugs that aren't used and fall out over time. maybe try a small cork to plug back up the hole
the replacement was only 5 bucks at Advance though
A cork would not work.. The cooling system of a vehicle is pressurized to 12-18 psi at temp. Those two plugs are for the transmission cooler lines that aren't used in manual cars. Those are useless and can be left open.
Yeah I had a 94 F150 with an over heating issue but who knows what it was. Same motor as yours straight 6.
I got same problem with my Ford F-150! Not fun took it to mechanic paid $520 to replace hoses and radiator since it was leaking!!!
Amber D change your ridiator
My drain plug weep hole is also dripping ever so slowly.
I am not sure what caused this to happen as all was well and then it started to leak without me ever touching it but the oil was also missing from the crank case, so perhaps they are linked together, one may have caused the other to happen. I will learn more when the "Saga Continues" tomorrow and I drain the motor oil from the pan - I will be looking for any leaks.
umm yeah.......so how did you fix it? As to Matt, I dont know what the problem is, I've got a 86' F250 with the straight 6 and it over heated also
just happend on my kabota tractor only had it for 2 months
Yeah i just changed my thermostat today got water pump last yr. And still leaking
What kind of vehicle?
Thanks
i have a toyota corolla and i visually inspecteded everything and from the bottom of the radiator there are two plastic rubbers one of them are leaking and i want to replace them. can somebody tell me is this the way to replace them
How did you get the plug out???
needle nose pliers
I tried those :/ the inside of mine is hollow and there's nothing to grab onto
you can use a drill and left hand drill bit
What type of plug is it ???
Radiator drain plug
terrible video skills
Good observation skills. Made by 15 year old in 2012.
Please don't move the camera around like that. It is very nausea inducing.
