poor girl

poor girl i have both saabs and mercedes...
i have a convertible saab but these things need attention..


so you have a water leak.....
is it a big leak or a small leak...


open the hood and take a look you probably can see where its coming from.

there are many possible leaks...
1. from the water pump... which will be driping down the front of the engine.
2. I have seen cracked overflow tanks... and that would drip down the fender.
3. the various hoses will leak and you can see that.
4. often on these plastic radiators the neck breaks and it will leak there.
5. if the radiator is leaking it will come from the front of the car near the
grill...

the worst water leak is off the engine... probably the back of the engine.. this would be from the head gasket... and if your paying that is an expensive repair... but its worth doing on that car... dont throw it away...

a diy'er can do a head gasket from 250 bucks to 500 so if that turns out to be the problem... lets find you a local diyer
