I am in over my head at this point.
From what I can tell that overflow drain line comes right out of the coolant tank.
The hose that the quick disconnect blew out on comes from the top of the oil cooler and goes into the tank. I don't know where the other hose from the tank that goes from the inside of the firewall goes to. (I don't have a Bentley and can't find a decent diagram online) And I can't get my hands in there, which is why I had the mechanic install that tank in the first place!
I tried plugging up the overflow hose to make sure that nothing else is leaking.
Nothing else is.
It's only coming from that overflow hose as seen in the photo: (not my actual photo, but the exact same thing)
The leaking apparently has nothing to do with temperature. It starts as soon as I start the car. It only gets worse as the engine heats up.
If this hose does indeed go straight from the coolant tank, how is this possible?
I don't see any lowering of the level in the coolant tank as it's happening or any movement of the fluid. Granted it's a small amount of leakage, but it has to be coming from somewhere, right? Is that tank under any pressure when the car is first started?
I'm ready to call the junk man again I am so frustrated.
I may end up doing that anyway, as I don't know if I'm well on my way down that slippery slope to a money pit.
I'm also no mechanic. I can understand principles and do basic stuff, but I have zero clue what's going on here.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on or been through this before?
Thanks!
