I have another vehicle (not my 80 thank god) that is also a inline 6.
Runs good, radiator is holding pressure but when I pull the dip stick out while the engine is running, a steady stream of steam is pouring out the end of the tube.
Two days ago my wife calls me and says"its smoking and making funny noises"
I ask if temp is over heating and she says its below the middle.
I tell her to park it and she did while on the phone she pulled into our driveway.
When I get home an check it the radiator return hose had been blown off.
Appeared the clap was not tightened. Coolant everywhere.
I refill, tighten clamp etc test drive and no problems or so I thought.
Now we have the steaming dip stick.
Any advice I really appreciate.
