Antifreeze leaking

[YoungLs1996]

I know everyone is saying change the degas bottle, but I've pulled and looked at mine and there is no crack in it at all, but I still have antifreeze leaking behind my drivers side tire, I've replaces the hose leading off the degas bottle. And there is still leaking. Where could t be coming from

From your degas bottle.

When the bottle gets hot, the cracks expand - hence the leak. When the bottle is cool, it's not uncommon to not be able to see any of the cracks.

From your degas bottle.

Or the connection to the bottle.....

Even though I do not have an overheating problem, I was thinking about replacing mine as I have a little over 150k on the original bottle.

While everybody says they have great success with the motorcraft version, I was looking to save a few bucks, has anybody tried the dorman version? seems like a good idea at half the price of the OEM...

Loud1, you are killing me here, there is not enough room in our signatures for your witty comments! +1


YoungLs, take your degas bottle and hold it up against a light, you'll see the hairline cracks better that way.
It could potentially be the line fittings but the "dripping behind drivers front wheel" is a cracked degas bottle.

NOTE: we've recently seen a degas bottle split at the seam, which would be real hard to determine if it's partially split and leaking from there.
