I got to enjoy my new radiator for two whole days, now I'm shooting coolant from the rear half of the engine. I've got coolant all over the firewall, condensation boiling off beneath the intake manifold, and coolant pooled on the glowplug and bussbar.
So what causes this? There is a large amount of steam (or maybe exhaust too, I can't tell), coming from beneath the intake manifold. Its condensing everythere, as I said. Attached are two pictures, and a video is up on youtube:
YouTube - 3B head gasket cracked?
My hope is that this is just a head gasket problem. Maybe the new radiator is holding pressure in the coolant loop for the first time... ever...?
Somehow I think coolant is getting on my clutch too; I noticed it shuddered a bit.
This is starting to become un-fun...
