I've found that the lip of the radiator can get scored, pitted or slightly out of shape, which weakens the seal. Polishing it with a bit of very fine grade wet'n'dry glued to a flat piece of wood will show any problems in the early stages of rubbing and should fix them with a little bit of elbow grease.
I showed the cap to Patrolapart and they said the seal looks poor so its looking like the culprit.Quote:

Temps were perfect although it was a cooler weekend and zero coolant loss!

Annnnd not so happy days!
Just noticed a leak in the corner core of the radiator one week before heading off to Cape Jaffa, love it!!!
Showed the radiator mob and they said the old Natrad 3 core radiators always do that in the corners and I'm very lucky to even get my 6 years out of it.
Yeah wow really? I've got the same radiator, it's 5 years old.Quote:
