When my engine died a couple of months back, I had the radiator flushed (oil, tranny, and core). I have been wondering where all the coolant is going, and I finally found it. It is coming from the nipple. It seems like they broke it off, and then got a new one and shoved it in the old spot, and then used some very very very soft grey stuff to plug the holes. That is not working. I went over to another SyTy owners house, and he used this black nylon tape stuff that adhesives to itself, and that works, but it is still leaking. Should I just JB Weld this mofo, or is this pretty easy to replace. From the looks of it, to fix it right, I am going to have to pull the radiator and send it to someone esle to fix. It has been like 3-4 months since the radiator was flushed, so there is no recourse going through the radiator place.
This is the nipple at the very top of the radiator by the cap, the one that has the hose that leads over to the overflow tank.
