Coolant leak on the XJ2025...

[jdom84]

Was out pushing some snow around yesterday and a bit after I noticed a small puddle of coolant on the garage floor... looked all over couldn't see anything but they pack those engines in so tightly, its hard to see. Wasn't the overflow. I'm thinking it came from the lower radiator hose coolant heater but not completely sure yet. :shocked:

Maybe cold water leak tighten the hose clamps

I can tell by the pic in your avatar that the loader bucket overloaded it! :laughing: The hood is real simple off and on. If you haven't done it, there are 2 tiny pins w/ washers at the rear, two before and aft the radiator if I remember correctly from the top. So 4 bolts and 2 pins. In your cold weather, I'd agree a clamp is likely. May need to upgrade them.

Its not that big, only a 10 yard bucket... lol


Thanks for the info on the hood. I was looking at it last night, but didn't feel liking tearing into it yet because I didn't know what it took.
