    Default Radiator Help?

    *92 VP V6 Auto Sedan*

    Howdy all,
    Rocked up to work this arvo and smelt that terrible smell of burning coolant. Anyway, there was a steady drop of coolant coming down the LHS (looking at it from the front of the car) of the radiator. Anyway - as I've never taken a good look at a radiator I was wondering if it could be a plug or something minor? My guess would be it's gonna be the side of the radiator, but just thought I'd check (I'm working for the next 8 hours so may as well get some opinions til I can open her up tomorrow)

    Thanks

    Nay, it's on the other side unfortunately. I've recently replaced everything related to the coolant (thermostat, radiator cap, hoses and clamps) so it makes sense that the radiator would go now!
