[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 1963313, member: 1594"] Not to be redundantly repetitive, but my leak turned out to be between the alloy gooseneck and the radiator hose. I did a LOT of unnecessary work, when all I needed to do was drain the system just enough to be able to pull that hose, and clean up and smooth the surface of the gooseneck where it seals against the hose. The gooseneck is a casting, and there was a raised line of casting flash that prevented a good seal. And because of the leak, the alloy was somewhat rough in texture. A jeweler's file eliminated the casting flash, and some emery cloth smoothed out the surface. That was all my problem was. See post #24, this thread. [/QUOTE]
