Quick question, fellas.
I've got a dripping leak from the front end, pretty sure it's the radiator. It's a steady drip, once every 30 sec to 1 minute with the truck off. I started the truck, and no fluid went spewing under the hood or under the truck. But it's been sitting for 2 days and there is a good puddle going all the way to the back of the truck on the driveway.
The fluid is clear with a green tint, so that tells me it's not maticJ, it's coolant, right?
I really need to make a 2.5hr trip to dallas tonight, but I don't want to blow my truck up. Can I put water in the radiator, or does it have to be Nissan coolant?
And as long as the leaky area doesn't expand and fluid blow everywhere, should I be okay to drive as long as I keep an eye on engine temp?
I'll be ordering the CSF aluminum radiator, and already have an external tranny cooler that bypasses the front radiator to install at the same time.
Thanks in advance. I'm really getting sick of finding issues with this truck right before I get ready to make an effing trip.
