Q: Radiator is no good, went through a few

asked by on November 02, 2015

My 2006 Ford Explorer is currently on its third radiator. The vehicle in question has only 55,000 miles on it and now I am seeing coolant leaking from this radiator as well. I am so tired of taking this truck in for the same service! Is there a way to rectify this problem for good or do I need to get rid of it? I am out of solutions.

Oil leak 1997 Chevy Blazer 4WD
Hi there. The oil leak could be, nothing more than, a loose oil filter (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/change-oil-and-filter). Another possibility, a leaking oil filter adapter gasket (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/oil-filter-housing-gasket-replacement).
