Radiator Fluid Leaking Sign In

I have a 1994 Plymouth Acclaim and the Radiator Fluid started leaking about a day ago. Today the reserve resovior is completly empty, how do i check for leaks?

Fill it up at radiator first and start looking. Be prepared to catch the coolant if it is a real fast leak. Recovery tanks themselves can be the leak so you just have to look around. Catch this early will surely help to prevent any further damage,

Clean it off really good with something like carburetor cleaner. This dries quickly. Use a mirror to determine where the leak is coming from.
