I have gotten my rediator, upper and lower hoses, water pump and thermostat replaced trying to stop the leak that I initially brought my car in for 3 months ago for and it has yet to be resolved. Still leaking in the same place( front passanger side location)

Hi there,

You will need to get the cooling system pressure tested, this will help the mechanic locate this coolant leak, start here.

THANX FOR THE SUGGESTION, THAT WAS DONE. THEY PUT 150 PSI INTO THE RADIATOR AND FOUND NOTHING. AFTER IT WAS DONE HOWEVER THEY DID FIND SOME WATER AROUND THE ENGINE TEMP SENSOR SO THEY TOOK SOME SILICONE SEALANT AND USED AS PIPE DOPE BUT IT IT STILL LEAKS.

Well I hope that they did not put 150PSI into the cooling system as that would just about blow the radiator apart, coolant temp sensors should not be sealed with anything especially if they are a single wire sensor as they must earth through the block to work, they should be a tapered thread or have a alloy washer to male the seal.
