I have been fighting with my car and the coolant for sometime now. I have replaced everything that could be replaced that relates to the coolant. I have a leak that seems to come and go. Sometimes the coolant poors out of the car and the next time there might be a few drips. Ihave replaced the radiator and it stopped momentarily, however came back a short time later. Could something be stuck open allowing the coolant to escape? It seems to drip from up by the radiator, however the other day I got to work at 6am and all the coolant leaked out of my car, I noticed this at 11:30 when I went out to get something. So, I filled the resevior tank with more coolant, so I did not have to worry about it later (as it has never leaked before while the car was not being driven) and I came back out at 3 and all the coolant had again leaked out... So I added more and drove home and maybe about 10 drops came from the car all night. Even after cooling off. This is very frustrating since I have replaced so many things (radiator, water pump, thermostat...etc) What else could be causing this leak...Did I get a defective radiator? COuld it be a thermostat problem and the coolant is being pushed out from somewhere because the thermostat does not open/close? Please help
