I picked up a Super M over the weekend. Looked it over for about 30 minutes. Took it for a spin. Noticed the odds and ends that I knew I could put up with and wound up with it for $1200 bucks. I did notice antifreeze/water dripping from the rather poorly fitting radiator cap. Once I got it home and ran it for an hour or so, I noticed bubbling in the radiator. Uh oh....my blood ran cold for a second but then I thought, no smoke (at all) can't be a cracked block/head right? I didn't go through it yet but I am wondering what all of the likely culprits might be. I have to replace the fan belt (it was loose and dry rotted), I'll need a new radiator cap, and I'll have to clean and straighten the fins. The temp gauge didn't move during the hour I had it running but I wasn't working it either. What's the best order of business to diagnose things in order? Can I have a cracked head or block or blown gasket without smoke? Thanks Jay
