strange leaking radiator plug.
#1

I was under the assumption that my lower radiator hose was leaking. I ordered a new one from Paragon and in expectation of it today, I started to strip away a few parts to make the area more accessible. While doing so I noticed the drip coming from this small rubber cap on the end of what looks like a drain outlet at the top corner of the radiator.



I went to a local parts store and couldn’t find that same size cap to replace it. I was wondering if this is stock or did someone loose the original cap and replaced it w/ this rubber one. Any advice from here as to where I can find the original cap or a suitable replacement is welcome.

is this hose "cap" coming from the top left rear of the radiator? isn't that the return tube from the reservoir tank?

If your standing in front of the car looking under the hood, its on the left to the back of the radiator.

Well job completed w/o the use of a lift or jack stands. I simply removed the hoses and lifted out the radiator. Easier then I thought it would be. Im going to go ahead and change the oill & filter before putting the air box back in.

FYI- the secound pic is a close up of the left side of pic one. The return tube is on the left above the upper radiator hose. In pic 2, near the date, you can see the lower hose going to the engine. I assume that its just a drain tube.
