a few nights ago i hit a pothole going reverse in a gas station, and i immediately thought "oh shit ,the oil pan"...so i fell down to see under the car, and i see fluids running. i drove two blocks to my home, and next day called the AA to take the car to the shop. as i pushed it towards the truck i saw that it was coolant, not oil. so after i put the car on the lift i started looking to see where the leak was coming from. finally we removed the starter motor, and there were two coolant hoses that we didnt know about. one had a hole. as we fixed those, we decided to install a coolant swirl pot that i had but the radiator cap i have is no good for this kind of system (its a spring steel cap), so we installed the nipples and whatever was needed but left them capped, until a valveless cap arrives from my supplier.
