Thank you!
I am delighted to tell you since I had an SVT, and I am allowed to call Ford International Service FIS but I can not divulge his/her name. I carefully explained your exact situation and he/she assured me that in no way this could be caused by the thingamajigger or the whirlydoo. I can't describe the relief I experienced and couldn't wait to give you the good news. Congrats. They said a pin hole looks like this . Sandy

Thank god somebody has connections!
I just took a peek. There hasn't been and of that weird clear fluid (maybe it's plasma?) and I don't see and pinholes in what parts of the line I've checked and seems dry. Maybe could've been morning condensation and some runoff of some previous sort.
The radiator is now leaking from all possible bottom hole thingies. It isn't the drain plug, it's just... everything. So that's cool!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hey All,

I've had just enough time to get a new radiator, and have it spring a leak. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good radiator that won't start leaking a month from installing it?
Happy New Year, indeed!
