Re: Coolent Issue

I would suggest using some JBWeld or higher temp silicone on the hole if at all possible... yes lower coolant can effect performance but only to an extent... depends on how low it is.... when your engine/coolant heats up it expands and uses the reservoir to hold excess but when it cools down it draws it back in.... when it gets to the reservoir and leaks out there is nothing to draw back in and it just keeps losing coolant slowly... or quickly...

Check some junk yards.... there's gotta be at least on or two dsm's sitting... i'm pretty sure that the reservoir isn't a highly sought after item.....
