[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 1846516, member: 1594"] Double-check the area around and under the "goosneck" where the engine thermostat is housed. Mine leaked there because there was a little corrosion on the gooseneck that prevented a good pressure seal between it and the hose. I think that a crack in the reservoir or radiator is more likely than a cracked block. Both are pressurized, of course, and as the engine comes up to temp the pressure builds in those two components. As the reservoir is plastic, I'd check it first and also check where the hoses attach for good seals. You will not get good engine cooling with a cooling system that can't hold pressure. This is a top priority problem to solve. [/QUOTE]
