0 Joey Mack Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 my guess is the nipple is cracked and possibly missing a piece. have you lowered the coolant level and removed the top hose to inspect it? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72793-plastic-radiator-tank-leak/#findComment-530264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Joey Mack Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 yeah I cant see it good,, too close.. I assume you tried to tighten the clamp.. it looks like a constant torque clamp, is it?
