Customer Question

I have a 2001 lincoln LS V-8. I seem to have a coolant leak and I am trying to utilize a Liquid coolant leak repairer but it states to pour in the radiator cap. All I can find in the engine bay is the coolant resorvoir. Does the vehicle have a radiator cap or do you just pour the fluid in the resorvoir?

hi,

if the cap on the resivor is a presurized cap. that is where you pour it. if its a simple plastic cap. then there should be another cap somewhere. look on the cap and see if it has 16psi or something of that nature on it. if it does. then thats the one you pour it in.

hope this helps, let me know if i can further assist you.

thanks,

john c.
