Coolant Leak
Hello! I am in need of some help. My 1999 SL1 is leaking coolant. It started small and would last an entire day. Last night, I filled the tank completely and this morning there was coolant all over the parking lot. Any suggestions of the first place to look for leaks? Thanks!!

If you can't locate a leak, there are UV dyes you can add to coolant,
once some has leaked out, use a black light and your leak should be apparent. here is one place you can get it ~$11 http://www.monstermarketplace.com/Ho...g893a6363.html

Re: Coolant Leak
two common leak areas are the water pump and top left of the radiator.

My 97 SC2 started Leaking on the radiator. From the front of the car looking toward the motor it was about 6 inches down on the right side of the radiator. The radiator is half plastic and it just failed and began to leak. I put a new radiator in with the help of a shop manual in about an hour and a half. New radiator cost about $125 for mine. Just trace hoses and look all around once the motor is warm and the system builds a little pressure. You'll find the leak if it's leaking that much.
