Went camping this weekend.
On the way, my Jeep's engine overheated.
Stopped at the gas station and opened the hood. Steam rising from the radiator.
Waited until it cools down and filled the reservoir with tap water.
The engine ran fine after that but the next morning there was no water in the reservoir again.
This radiator was replaced exactly two years ago. It got cracked.
I am not sure what to do this time.
Go to the mechanic and spend another $1000 for a new radiator again?
Put those leak-stop chemicals and see what happens?
It may not be the radiator but the hose somewhere? How can I tell?
