Another coolant puddle

[NewArt]

I bought a new 04 cap from the dealer recently and had this problem. I put the old cap back on and the problem went away! These caps can be pressure tested apparently. Also check for cross threading: a common problem from what I've heard.

It appears our problems are similar. I seem to have no leakage while the car is on the road, but shortly after it is parked in the garage, it starts to leak coolant on the right side of the engine in front of the rear tire. I also replaced the cap and it seems to have caused more leakage. The cap itself is not leaking.

I expect that as this is a 2000 S, and that the hoses are all original equipment, that as the engine temperature increases once the engine is shut off, the fluid is being forced out of the bad hose.

Anyone else had this happen? What would you do or what have you done about it.

Regards,

Mr. Mike

My leak is directly beside the right rear tire
