My 97 camaro has had a intermittent leak for sometime and lost all it's coolant again today. This isn't a steady thing it happens every so often where when shut off it drips under the front of the car.
I took radiator out today, and it has the signs of leakage all over the passenger side tank from top to bottom and front to back. I see no crack and thought it could have been leaking from the cap possibly.
However I stuck my finger inside the radiator cap hole and felt a rubber piece felt round but could have been square right by where the tank joins the core. Is this rubber piece the tank seal or something else? It isn't just a piece of rubber stuck in there it feels like it might have slipped into the tank cause it feels like there is a small gap there.
anyone have a picture of one of these seals or heard of one section separating and dangling in the tank?
I would rather avoid spending money to have a radiator shop look at it and charge me and just buy a new radiator if this is really what this rubber piece is and that has been where this leak has been over the last year.
Also wouldn't this rubber seal fit in a groove around the tank or could this tank have cracked internally and that is why this piece of rubber is hanging there?
