Low coolant, Great...

[98CobraStarLSC]

So i was driving the other day and i got a low coolant indictor. Wasnt leaking anything on the ground, but it was a little low in the resevoir. i filled it and then when i was putting in my trans cooler and had the top radiator mounts off(i had the top of the radiator tilted towards the engine). I noticed it was dripping. Looked to be comming from the passenger side around the rear of the engine or by the firewall. when i bolted it all back together, no leak. and now i have a low coolant light again.

Whats the common problems?

i might investigate this weekend if i get a chance..

Thanks guys.

Heater core hoses or the heater core. If you have not noticed any condensation on the inside of the wind shield or smell of anti freeze I would say a hose or clamp.

actually i do notice the middle of the windshield is foggy in the morning.. but what would that mean? the heater core?

possibly, but usually the windshield will fog up randomly in the morning anyway. turn your heat on and smell the air coming out of the vents, if it smells sweet you may have to change the core, or bypass it if you dont need the heat.

Have the system pressure tested to find your leak.

yeah, i have a pressure tester at work, ill do that asap.. but as for the heat thing.. blend door is not working. so ... i dont think that will help.. if its the heater core, i am just going to bypass it. where is it located on the gen II?

It's the two little hoses that connect into the core at the firewall...
