    Default Radiator leak

    Over the winter and for the past few winters I go to my sisters house in New Hampshire for Christmas. The car sits outside overnight with the temps in the 20's. When I get up in the morning I always have a small 6" pool of antifreeze on the driveway beneath the radiator. I check the drain plug and it is not wet so I know it is not comming from there or the radiator hoses. Why do I not get this during the spring and summer. Only during the winter. I can't find any leak.

    What kind of a car do you drive?

    all in all, if you've not replaced your radiator yet, you might be due.

    Default Sounds like your expansion tank seals are done...

    If you have not changed your rad yet, I would say do it now before it gets worse. In doing so make sure to get new expansion take seals if you have removeble expansion tank. I had the exact same problem not too long ago and sure enough it was the seals.
