Re: [DML] coolant leak, pitted pipe?

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

When I took out my coolant pipes, I found the same thing. There was
pitting thast went straight through the aluminum pipe right at a junction
with a rubber hose. You may not notice a leak, becuase it's on the hot
side, it could spray out gaseously and disappear. Once I blew a rubber
hose, and the only telltale (besides the billow of white smoke out the
back of the car) was that some of it recondensed onto the (cold) rear
fascia. I lost at least 2 gallons of anitfreeze, and mopped up less than
a cup's worth off the car.
