STARTED UP MY 1948 8N YESTERDAY EVENING AND LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OFF, I NOTICED IT WAS LEAKING ANTI FREEZE. NOT MUCH, BUT ENOUGH TO NOTICE. CAN ANYONE SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS. IF SO, WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? THANK YOU

A quick fix if the leak is on the radiator itself is to dab a little J-B Weld on it. That'll work for the time being. (Notice I said quick fix not permanent.) If it is a hose, you might as well replace the bad hose. You might also check the over flow valve located at the top (where you pour the coolant in) of the radiator. Sometimes it pops loose. J-B Weld works perfectly on that.

The first thing you need to do is to make sure no animals get to the anti-freeze; it is sweet tasting to them but highly toxic. Next, find out where the leak is coming from. Could be a hose, water pump, loose cap, over-flow tube.....as well as the radiator itself. While the specs call for 12 quarts of fluid in the cooling system, anything more than about 11 quarts will result in it boiling over. All it needs is enough water to cover the core.

my cap had cut a hole on the neck from years of twisting on and off. See if you don't have a slit right below where the cap tightens down. It was an easy solder job in that location.
