Steam from rad cap

Howdy. Recently while running my 1941 9n I have noticed steam coming from the rad cap after it warms up. I have never noticed this before. It has enough antifreeze in it. Also when I take off the cap while it's running and look in, the fluid is not turbulent at all. I have no thermostat in the tractor (Ya I know, I know... :-) ). It is also losing fluid at a steady drip from somewhere. Could this be a fualty water pump? Is it possible to replace the w/pump without removing the rad? Has anyone had any luck with bars leaks for leaking rads? There are no bubbles or anything in the fluid.

thank,
Alan

Check you radiator cap seal. Also check the top of the radiator for leaks especially around the flues and seams of the tank. This will cause steam.
As for bars leak it is one of the best and it works with antifreeze as some don't. Don't let the radiator get dry with bars leak in it it will stop it up as will any stop leak.

ooops. Just read over my message and it is a bit misleading. When I take off the rad cap and look in there is no turbulence in the water. There is no bubbling either.

the bars leaks thing was really a seperate question.

Bars leaks is a fantastic product but before using make sure your radiator does not have any crud or almost blocked areas in it. Flush radiator good before using it or it may block any spots where there is not a good flow.
If the radiator is clean Bars Leaks will keep it clean but if it is almost stopped up it will complete the stoppage.
This is what I have found from past experience.
