I found that I have a leak in my radiator. This is the 2nd radiator to go bad in the last six months. I remember reading once that the cooling system has a pressure relief function. Can someone enlighten me on how that works and if some flaw in that system is causing my radiators to go bad? Is there something else that is likely to be causing my problems?
I destroyed a brand new Fluidyne aluminum radiator by installing an after market thermostat. $500 dollar lesson learned.....
