gettin some spill out of rad overflow ?

It's a 1990 e-150 , 300-6. just changed the thermastat to a 192 for the heat. Everything else is fine, it runs in the normal area and blows plenty of hot air in the cab. But when at idle sitting, it drips a small amount of antifreeeze onto the ground from the from the overflow tube just below the cap. Any suggestions on the matter . Thanxs

Go to a dollar store and buy a turkey baster.

Or.... use the one from the house and replace it

Just go to the parts store and buy an overlfow tank.
Something like less than $10
Fill it to about 1/3 full.
Also helps in the summer.

Check the raidiater fan cluch if the engine is hot the fan should be somewhat stiff

the 300 6 don't have much power but it's very dependable motor got 200,000 plus miles and not a bit of trouble.
