Hello, I’m new to Model A owning and recently bought a 1931 Tudor. Was doing fine until the other day after a drive on a hot day had the temp gauge go way up. No signs of overheating though. Parked it and then later added coolant thinking it was low. Next morning found a nice puddle of coolant on garage floor. You can see the fluid coming out on the fins at the very top floor of radiator on passenger side. Does have some rusty color to it also. Thoughts? Plugged? Rusted through? Previous owner said it was put in new six years ago. Tim
