i saw all the 80 series posts on this, but none for the 100.
i recently drove my texas truck to the mountains and left it in a driveway for a few days in the 20 degree weather (with mild snowfall). when it was time to leave, i started it up and started to scrape off the ice on my windshield when i noticed some coolant dripping from the belly pan. I opened the hood and saw a sizeable puddle of coolant at the top of the radiator on the right side, under the upper radiator hose. I hoping that's the only place that leaked, but i saw coolant along the entire bottom of the radiator so i cant be sure (of course, the coolant at the bottom could easily have been from that puddle at the top).
I kept an eye on my scan gauge the entire way back and the temp stayed at 185 degrees for pretty much the entirety of the trip, only ever reaching a max of 190. my question is, do i need a new radiator or is this just part of the fun of having a koyorad in freezing weather?
