grandprix104 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 ok the Prix decide it didnt think the new alt i just put in it was enough attention so it sprung a coolant leak. It isnt too terribly fast, leaves no puddles but there is no water in the oil either so i dont know what the hell its doing. There is no trace of water leakage anywhere. Just wondering if you guys had seen anything like this and if you know of any common leak areas, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHCRagtopguy Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Intake manifold seals have been known to go on the 3.1 motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihela816 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 And yours is a 94, and they had the manifold problem more often since it was the 3100's first year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Is it running hot? Closed t-stat and it will overflow while you're driving and you might not notice it. Happened to our van for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 radiator cap, they can get hot and the gasket can leak antifreeze outta the rad. Â -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihela816 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 if it leaks out of any of those places there will be white crud around the leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutlsp Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 a way to test and see if a t-stat is working is put it in a boiling pot of water if it opens it works i've heard of some new ones not working properly :? could that be the problem possiablely?
