My coolant expansion tank keeps emptying. When I add coolant it drains out on to my garage floor. The engine is dry and I do not overheat. I do not lose coolant except when I refill the tank.
It is either the tank or a hose connection to it. How do I access the tank to check this out?
Thanks
Roy

Where's the radiator? You know, the coolant holding thingy that has fins.....

Hey Tool Pants, You are d'man !. I guess you just 'common sense' the interior trim off to get to it. Thanks for your help.
One question. Where are the drain plugs for the coolant system?

The coolant drain plug is near the oil drain plug. If you have a 3.2 then the center radiator also has a drain plug. If you are draining coolant and putting it back in you need to bleed the cooling system. Jeff

Senior Pants, You are a terrific asset to this board. I ( and I'm sure I speak for others)very much appreciate your very thorough help.
Could you breifly explain the proper coolant system bleeding procedure? I remember something about turning the heater on full and cycling this a few times, but I haven't done this in a long time. Thanks again,
Roy
