Yea because those performance radiators do a great job...

Do a pressure test first before you go dicking with the nipple, sometimes it just breaks off from people fiddling with it when they dont need to.

I don't think you have to worry. I had an engine that had a bad seal and was leaking coolant directly into the rotor chamber. The engine would spudder a little on a morning start-up, but it was fine for the rest of the day. The only time you have to worry is when the intake is completely submerged in water. The air cleaner, on the other hand, may be damaged.

Damm I have been smelling coolant for the last week and keep wondering what the heck is leaking?..Taking a look tomorrow at my radiator, hopefully is just a hose that is leaking, so far the low coolant light has only come on once in the morning yesterday, but then it tuned off, how much would i be looking at for a performance radiator guys?..**** I have 80345 miles on my 8, and is running good, but now I am worried about this new issue, i am still trying to replace the driver side front window that got broken on wendsday night by work, and now this?..well will find out tomorrow what it is and will be hitting the forum for advices and tips guys!..txs!

Took a look about an hour and found the leak, it's coming from the water pump, not sure if it is the hose that feeds in the water pump or a seal, gonna take it to the mechanic on monday to get it fix, any input on how much I can get a water pump in case I need one will be appreciate it ladies and Gentlemen..

i tried a similar repair once but i guess it just depends if you are lucky or not, in that particular case the plastic had a similar consistency to jello pudding and the fitting just cracked the endtank flange..
