My Wifes 1997 jgc did the same thing
About 1 month ago I went outsied and saw a small puddle uneath my wifes JGC It has the 4.0 in it woth about 80,000 on it. It is the first time my wifes 97 has had a major problem, not lime my 5.2 liter 97.
I thought the hoses might be bad, it was original equipment and at that age you should change the hose anyway. That did not fix the problem.
I took it to a mechianic they pulled the radiator and found there was a very small hole next to the drain valve, about the size of a pin hole. They said they have been seing a lot of premature radiator deaths on the 1995-1998 jeeps.
Price to put a new heavy duty radiator in was 680, parts, labor tax, and included a new thermostat. So reapiars like this one I leave to the pros, the small stuff I can do for myself.
I had called around and the dealership, wanted almost 900 for a regular radiator, never ever take it to the dealership.
