Hello All
Hope your weekend was better than mine..lol.
I'll try and keep this as short as possible. I noticed my A/C was not as strong; at least when i was at a stop light. As I drove it started to get a little cooler. Did not hear my rad fan come one either.
I had parked my E86 and left the car idling for 7 mins with the A/C on (it was a hot day). As I was getting back in my car. I noticed steam coming from my hood.
I shut off the car immediately and opened my hood (I noticed the temp was on the high side as well & was in the middle when i left my car 7 mins prior). I noticed a lot of my coolant leaked out on the ground when i opened my hood. Something must have broken
As i removed the under car tray i noticed there was crack approx 6inches on the coolant reservoir overflow tank ( I confirmed the leak was from here as i poured water in the reservoir and noticed it was leaking from there. )
Question: Do I only need to replace this reservoir and coolant? anything else recommended to do as precautions (engine was on the hot side)? Oil change?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks!
