Title: Leaking pink stuff....
Post by: HockeyDave55 on 03 March 2012, 09:47:22

Hi folks,

A while ago I changed the coolant but now I have a small leak from the drain tap at the bottom of the rad... I don't just want to pull the plug out but, Is there a seal or O-ring in there that can be changed???  :-\

There are a pair of O rings in there. Not sure if they are available separately but I believe the complete plastic knob with seals is.

If they haven't been disturbed in a while they can disintegrate when the knob is turned.

Drop AndyC on here a line. I'm sure he'll be able to get hold of one if anyone can.

The washer isn't there to seal, it's just to stop the red plug from vibrating loose. The O rings are for sealing.


Oh! ??? That's my picture!!!  ;) ;D ;D ;D
