2008 C30 coolant leaking over passenger wheel well **solved**

Post by Pretribrapper »

Only happens when I drive it. If I start and leave it idle then nothing. Some coolant was leaking out overflow tank right out of the relief hole. I thought the cap may be the culprit so I replaced the cap and nothing got better. Still spraying out relief hole up top. Thoughts?
