Default Re: New Radiator and Losing Coolant

I too installed a new radiator and after maybe 2,000 miles it to leaked under the return pipe at the top. After conciderable thought I wondered if it was because the drive chain and engine moved forward just a little as the motor car accelerated and pushed on the rigid and stationary radiator. This I wondered was because I had installed float a motor which allowed for such small movement. I might add I am pleased with the new mounts.
I have now purchased a new hose which incorporates a concertina, yet to be installed.. Photo included. 18AUD.
