If anyone has advice for my son, could you email him directly - thanks. Stock motor, probably close to 200,000 on it but he would have to verify that. He had a leak of some sort but did not appear to be coolant. : Ian Stewart [mailto:stewart.ian@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 2:07 PM To: Skarloken, Donna L. Subject: van blew up Looks like it was some kind of coolant leak after all. Started steaming on me at the Corral Hollow stoplight, I limped it home and the overheat light was flashing by the time I got to Tracy Blvd. Must have blown off a hose or something... the passenger side axle is covered in fluid with no perceptible scent. Coolant in recovery bottle is still halfway between min. and max. mark so I am thinking it is one of the hoses behind the firewall that leads to the radiator. |
