Id say they are the most common failure point imo. But not too difficult to replace. Just be diligent and get all the plastic out.

 

Well also got the coolant leak figured out this morning. The radiator has a leak in it at the bottom corner on the drivers side. It was leaking on the ground when I got to the garage where my nephew works. So I told him "Good now you can tell me where its leaking from." LOL.

 

btw...if you do still notice the passenger side leaks and it is the plastic elbow "slightly" cracked, dont take it for granted, get that fixed asap because when they break into...bye-bye ALL fluid...and hello tow truck, mine went one night while i passed a car looked up just a big white cloud within a mile temp sky-rocketed. If that does happen park asap so not to blow a head gasket or worse

 

I'm thinking of probably doing those elbows at the same time. Just haven't decided if I wanna tackle replacing the radiator with a friend OR have my nephew do it? He says its about $140 which means its about 2 hours labor for them to do it.

 

I do it all myself...But if I had money to burn I would never touch a socket...lol
