Coolant leak

[elmora805]

Whats up guys I have a question i have a 2000 tahoe limited that leaks coolant when the reservoir is full. The reservoir can be empty and it wont leak. You would thing that the leak is coming from the reservoir but the puddles are under the radiator. Any help will be appreciated thanks.

Follow the hose coming out of the resivor - to the radiator, see if it has any cracks or splits in it

Ive checked that hose and all is good. the reservoir is on the passanger side but the puddle is on driver side. I've replaced the radiator and cap. And still the leak. Ive noticed that the hose that goes from the radiator to thermostat never has any pressure. Anyways Im still searching thanks for all the help.

make sure you double check the water pump, it can be decieving

Yes, double check the water pump - and also check the intake manifold make sure it isn't leaking

Can my cooling system be clogged somewhere. It never overheats, stays at normal temp.

I had a similar coolant leak, itd always leak if i filled it up but i could leave it with barely enough to circulate and shed be fine. Anyways it turned out to be leaking out of the heater control valve i believe, dont know if you have the same problem but its worth checking.
