I have a 94 cavalier v6 with a small coolant leak. There are no puddles or dripping that I can find. Any ideas

Grab the bottom radiator hose while it's cold, and squeeze. Can you collapse it? If so, that's the problem. There is supposed to be a spring in the bottom hose to keep it open, they sometimes rust out and the suction collapses the hose, restricting the water flow. Replace it. It only collapses at speed, not at idle, so you won't notice it.

Cheap coolants have no lubricant, mid-quality coolants (Prestone) contain silicone as a water pump lubricant. Silicone is a solid, so it is suspended in the liquid solution of the coolant as a fine particulate.

The only problem is that it precipitates out of solution and settles inside the radiator and heater core. Over time, this residue builds up and plugs up the radiator and it inhibits the free flow of the coolant.

I have a 1988 acura legend?


A radiator shop can "rod out" your core for you if it's a brass & solder radiator. If you have an aluminum core/plastic tank radiator, you're going to have to buy a new one. I've only encountered one shop that was equipped to dis-assemble a plastic tank radiator, but they are now out of business.

Unfortunately, radiator shops don't like messing with heater cores, you may have to buy a new one.
