Another problem . . .
I was driving today and the temps were in the 100+ range. At any rate, I had the air running and I noticed temps got up in the 135 range (coolant), so I turned off the air and I continued cruising. Next, I received a "low coolant" warning. I pulled into the driving range where I spent the next hour. When I got back to the car, sure enough coolant had leaked all over the place.
I went by a gas station and tried to re-fill it, but it immediately came pouring out. It looks like it is leaking out in the front of the car, my guess is the radiator? Unfortunately, I have the A&A setup so I can't see anything up there. If you recall, I posted a while back because the car has run hotter than it used to. I am guessing, but I think the radiator might have been causing the problem the entire time? Any recommendations for a replacement radiator if that is indeed the problem?
When I first saw this, my heart jumped into my throat as it gave me flashbacks to when I blew the motor.

Call Andy, He'll have an aftermarket replacement radiator for you.
They work great.
