[QUOTE="brads1, post: 6725559, member: 51729"] So the filter is off, I immediately saw a small puddle of coolant on the very edge of the housing... The threaded bolt wasn't what I would call, "loose," I couldn't budge it with my hand... But when I put a 12mm hex on a ratchet it was torqued on there a little less than what I'd call hand tight. The second I put any effort into it, it broke free and backed right out... I pulled it out, examined the o-ring... Looked fine... Cleaned up the whole area, put it back in and cranked it down pretty good... No He-Man stuff, but it's on there much tighter than before... So now I guess we'll see what happens, I drove around for 20 min with the AC on, so the coolant should be just about as hot as possible given the 90 degree temps outside today. Oh on edit, it was a 12mm hex :) [/QUOTE]
