    Default Coolant Leak where to start?

    Ok so i have a coolant leak. the leak is dripping under the jeep under the passenger side head light.

    Two quick questions.

    Does coolant from the radiator go to the transmission cooler thing in-front of the radiator? And if so is that a common culprit or should i be looking around the end tanks?

    are there any coolant lines running to or from the radiator that are not the two very large ones at opposite corners or the coolant reservoir tank?

    you have a drain valve on the lower portion of your radiator on the passenger side... unless your front end is highly modified it is difficult to get to . a common issue is that the radiator got too hot and expanded the threads of the valve and causing a leak... check to see if that is your issue, and as stated this valve is RIGHT next to your headlight on the passenger side

    and as far as a FIX... just seal that thing up with JBWeld, nobody really uses it on the XJ, I sealed mine up when I got it for this same reason
