Re: Flushing out oil
Hi Muff.... Actually, I've been "dropping hints" to my service tech guy for the last four months. I told him that I'm starting to smell coolant; mostly during the very first engine warm up of the day. Plus I had my entire cooling system power flushed by them about two months ago...with new Dexcool installed. I had that done for two reasons.... so it shows proper maintenance on my part, plus I am now going to say ... "I think that power flush has contributed to, or sped up this lim leaking.."
Looks like I better do this soon... But. I have no visible signs of any leaks. I searched high & low and I cannot find where this damn coolant smell is coming from. My carpeting is bone dry..... I can't find any leaks on the engine.... I don't have any idea where the coolant smell is coming from.
Here's what I'd like to do ..... I need to find out exactly where one would notice visible signs of lim failure / leaks. I don't know where to spill some coolnat (on purpose) to make it seem the lim is shot.
Sneaky, probably. But I pais enough for the damn warranty, and I want to take advantage of it.
So far, I've had my front end swaybar bushings replaced (squeaking sounds), ant they replaced my Delco factory radio for me. All without hassles.. I am very pleased with this third-party warranty. Both me & the dealership make out, because the third-party warranty pays for it. Plus the service guy told me that the warranty company always repairs things without hassles. They are liberal in that regard.
So that is why I need to "make it appear the lim is shot". If anyone has a photo that shows where I can dribble coolant, I'd really appreciate it. If I could dribble coolant on the engine, I'd also "dampen my carpet around the heater core". I'd like to have the whole damn thing done at the same time...
Whew.. sorry 'bout this overly long reply here !!!!! Once I get typing, I don't know when to stop, lol.. Any tips / hints, I'd really appreciate them.
Thanks guys...
