Re: little coolant leak on 95 windstar

Any visible coolant anywhere on the engine or on the ground?

Pressure test radiator,check radiator cap carefully such as rubber cracking under cap or overlapping of gasket material. This will get you going in the right direction.

Re: little coolant leak on 95 windstar

I'd start by tracking where the dripping coolant is coming from. Can you park in a protected area (i.e. a garage) where you can spread paper under the van, to accurately find the drip location?

Can you look up under the van and see engine coolant drips still hanging on something?

Let us know what you learn.
