I have a breather tube on my 1999 5.9 diesel, it is behind the radiator on the front of the motor. The tube is attached to a round canister which unscrews. Oil leaks out of the tube constantly and makes a mess of the lower engine and driveway. Any suggestions and what is it or how can I stop the leak.

SOURCE: oil leak after radiator change

The radiator has a transmission and engine oil cooler lines to it too. One of the oil lines are leaking, if you know which one that's have the battle. I believe the transmission line is on the passenger sides and the oil cooler line is on the drivers side. Look at where the lines connect to the radiator and see if there is signs of the leak. You may need to spray it down with brake cleaner if you not sure if it's a new leak or old leak from the accident. Good luck and hope this helps. And what do you mean by rear case gasket?? You mean the gasket that connects the transmission to the transfer case, or the rear O ring yoke gasket.

My 1999 gmc jimmy is leaking coolant, how do I know if it is the radiator or a water pump problem??? is this a difficult repair if it is the radiator????
If the coolant is leaking out of the radiator or out of the bottom of the radiator support then it is the radiator. The water pump is attached to the front of the motor. It's directly behind the fan. If the coolant is leaking down the front of the the engine then it is the water pump. Changing the radiator is a relatively easy repair with basic hand tools. I suggest purchasing a Chilton or Haynes manual for your vehicle. It will do wonders for your confidence having pictures and step by step guidance while you do the repair project.

Hose from the front differential.
This hose you refer to is the breather tube for the differential. It connects to a fitting at the top of the differential housing and runs up the back side of the radiator so you won't run the risk of water entering the differential if you submerge the front axle in water. Reconnect the rubber hose to the fitting on the differentail.

How to change a thermastat 1994 ford escort with a 1.9 engine
1.9L Engine

CAUTION Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Drain the cooling system.
  3. Remove the air intake tube, crankcase breather and PCV hose.
  4. Remove the ignition coil pack and bracket.
  5. Remove the upper radiator hose.
  6. Remove the ignition coil pack bracket.
  7. Unfasten the heater hose inlet tube bracket bolt and remove the heater hose inlet tube from the thermostat housing.
  8. Remove the three thermostat housing attaching bolts, then remove the thermostat housing and gasket.

I want to drain the coolant out of my 1998 hyundai excel, where is the radiator ****? And how do I open it?
When you open the hood, right in front, just behind the grille, there should be two long flat metal "boxes". One of them is the airconditioning tank, the other is the radiator. Usually the radiator is the thicker of the two, and should have a metal cap. The aircon tank doesn't.

To drain the Radiator, open the cap, then look for the cooloing hose nearest to the ground, these are usually black hoses about 2 inches in diameter, attached to the engine block by round silver hose clamps, usually the screw type.

Unscrew, or release the clamp of the lowest hose and pull it off, you can use a flat screwdriver to pry it off if it's tight. Now simply let the coolant drain out. Remember to re-attach the hose and secure it tightly before refilling! Hope that helps!

I dont know what is the name for the metal bar that holds the grill and radiator and latch support called
The radiator support usually runs along the front of the vehicle, just behind the grille. It is a metal bar or frame connected to both fenders and is made to hold and support the radiator. Also, the radiator support is designed to attach the mudguard skirts at their front borders. This vehicle component is often installed as a whole assembly. The complete radiator support assembly is composed of side support panel (RH or LH radiator support), upper tie bar (upper radiator support), lower crossmember (lower radiator support) and the hood latch support (center radiator support).

The radiator support is also known as core support since it supports the automobile’s radiator core. Other names for radiator support are front bulkhead or front panel. Aside from supporting the radiator, it also holds some other vehicle parts such as condenser and hood latch. The radiator support is typically assembled from mild steel hydroformed tube which is molded into a sturdy yet lightweight panel.
