Re: 99 toyota corolla - stuck in snow - coolant issue?
There should be a rubber tube near the radiator cap and if you trace
that it should end at the resevoir.
The best way to find a leak is while the engine is cool, use a radiator
pressure pump device which puts about 20 pounds of pressure in the
radiator. This will swell the hoses up and pinpoint hard to find leaks.
Don't have this device ? Something else I tried if you have an air tank
is to only put about 20 pounds of pressure in it and if it has a valve
to slowly leak air out attach it to the overflow hose at the resevoir
side. This will also show any leaks. Just be sure you don't go over 2o
PSI. Hope this helps.
