Ice in the Hose?


I've got Ice chunks in my radiator hoses and fluid leaks somewhere? can someone get me on track on where to start looking for the leak? I've been reading the Haynes manual for my car (95, 3.8, coupe) and it mention one drain plug. But don't know where it is... help

Is the leak in your hose or your radiator? I would just go with replacing the stuff.

Hmm


I'm not really sure on how many hoses are involved... I can see the ones on the front of the engine (V6 - not very crowded) but not sure if there are hoses on the side, back or under...?

allrighty dude its your lucky day...

i am pretty damn good with the radiator and all the shit that goes with it... their is a drain plug its under the radiator on the driver side... way at the bottom... their are more hoses but just one... its on the passenger side of the block just to the left of the theromostate if your looking at it from the front... that extra hose is the heater core hose...

you might wanna start by refilling the radiator with some anti-freeze that way you don't have problems with ice... and could you describe the leak ?? it might be something bigger then the hoses
