Coolent Leaking Out Of Overflow Pipe

Featured Replies

Hi all,

i have coolent dripping out of the overflow pipe on my 98 270. any advice?

cheers,

tom,

First thing to check is the radiator cap. You could be loosing pressure causing the system to overheat/overflow.

If you`ve recently filled it, it could be over filled. If this is the case then it is perfectly normal.

It's normal for the coolant to be at the bottom of the filler neck. If you fill it up all the way, it will dribble some out the overflow pipe as the coolant expands. Expect a little at first and then it should stop if you filled it up to the top.
