[DML] Re: LEAK!

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Carson,
You have an original factory installed radiator that has a removable cap.
There is a seal under the cap that may be bad. The cap has a 21mm wrench
fitting molded at its top. You can try to tighten the cap to stop the leak.
If that doesn't work you could try to apply a sealer at the cap lip. Keep
in mind that this is a factory original radiator that is made of plastic
and is 18 years old which makes it brittle. Be very cautious when applying
pressure to any of the plastic sections.

You would be doing yourself and your DeLorean a big favor if you replace
the factory plastic radiator with an all metal replacement available from
PJ Grady and DMC Houston.
