Noticed this coolant leak while doing an oil change.

Putting the car up for the winter I just did an oil/filter change. I noticed a few drops of coolant on the top of the d/s heat exchanger, located above the spoiler. I’m tied up with another project so have not checked it out yet. I’ll have to pull the after market air box, and certainly some other crap, but has anyone come across this type coolant leak yet? Car is a ‘15 HC with 7.2k miles. Thanks for any input.

Mine developed a pinhole leak in the radiator with similar miles. Of course I put those miles on it within the first 2 months of ownership, so the car was practically still new. Time to pressure test.

The factory radiators are known to leak on these over time. They make a few different full aluminum replacements now that solves this issue.

Hopefully it’s not the main radiator since the pink coolant seems to be on top of that lower heat exchanger. I won’t know until I move onto that project. I’m currently working on degreasing, repainting, and detailing the engine, engine bay, and underside of my Roadrunner. Thank God I retired a few months ago os this shit would never get done IMG_2814.jpeg IMG_2813.jpeg IMG_2812.jpeg
