Radiator problem
Asked by EastCountyBrad Sep 26, 2015 at 02:20 PM about the 2002 Ford Explorer
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My 02 explorer puked out it's radiator fluid pretty quickly( from what the wife
told me). I went assess, hoping it was overflow. I put more fluid in, and it
immediately poured out the bottom. With all the shrouds, it's hard to locate
the origin of the leak. Does this sound like the pump? Or hose?

With the engine cool/cold pour in plain water. If it pours out of the bottom freely, chances are it is the bottom hose. The radiator, if it is bad, is easy to replace.
