Coolant Leak From Fill Neck

Seem to now have a new issue. The radiator cap dosen't seem to seal on the fill neck. I get coolant comming out the coolant dump hose. Should I get a replacement from Victoria?

I seem to recall that at least some if not all the radiators require a deeper depth rad cap than the standard Advance Auto type, so, yes, probably time

Right JP, though my local auto parts store could get me one once the difference in depth was pointed out. Can't get the low pressure one anymore though. I believe 7lb's is the lowest and that will swell your header tank on a early radiator. Experience!

Kurt.
