MrEldo97 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi, On the 2003 vintage Seville can anyone tell me what the plastic tank under the left front corner of the car that has the "snap on/off" white plastic cover is? It appears to be a drain or storage surge tank of some type. The cover has a hose goining into it and is held in place by 4 sets of plastic clips. The heater hose and pipe come around the back of the motor into a 3 branch plastic coupler with three hoses. It's a fairly elaborate system with one hose connected to a housing just bheind the water pump... Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEldo97 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks, that makes sense... I've attached a picture of a "fitting" in the same are that's leaking; what is it? I'm going to attach a better picture. The part number is 24508958. It sprung a leak in my driveway last night. The car is Junior's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEldo97 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks Jim. DUCT must be an acronym for this. Junior paid mom and dad a visit last night and this "DUCT" popped a leak in the driveway. So...we're out in the driveway with a drop light, in the dark, in front of the car trying to find this leak. I got most of the in the way parts removed, a couple of hoses disconnected. Junior found this hole this morning while installing new hoses and looking for his leak. Now we have a better idea of what we are doing and so on. His mom's car is in the garage waiting for some new coil packs that are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow and his car is in my driveway... Update...It's looking more and more like Junior has a popped radiator...Film at 11:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEldo97 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Junior's problem is a blown radiator header tank. He replace the 24508958 filter that was leaking and some worn hoses and when he fired up his car the right side header tank split a good two to three inches. When he pulled the radiator out that header tank was full of stress cracks...common failure point on radiators with plastic header tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any radiator shop can replace just the inlet tank for way less than the cost of a new radiator. I had that done to my '96 Seville a couple of years ago for $70.00. I had to R&R the radiator.

MrEldo97 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks, he bought a new one from Advance (there's one walking distance from the house) about $200.00. It's all about available time, or lack of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
