Automotive - Dodge 1500 ram leaking fluid


Expert: Ben Deutschman - 10/8/2006

Question
I got a check gauges light and then noticed fluid coming from my hood. Looks like radiator fluid is leaking from the engine onto the belts
I just went to jiffy lube and they changed my
readiator cap due the fluid being low.

It is not a major leak but there is a lot of fluid  

Answer
Without actually seeing your Truck, I would surmise that either the new Radiator Cap isn't on all the way, or possibly you have a leak from the Radiator Neck, which is the part just below the Cap. If your Truck has one of those newer style Radiators with the plastic Tanks, and it has cracked anywhere in the top or bottom Tanks, then it will have to be replaced.
