96 xj Coolant Level Issues
Hey there,
recently I have replaced a few things on the Jeep and it has began to run a bit better which is great.
that being said, I had to replace a cracked radiator and ever since I put the Jew one in there has been no visible leaks… yet, It’s still getting hot and the coolant level drops and the engine starts to over heat about a week and a half after I refill coolant.
the oil doesn’t look to have anything in is as it is still clean oil color, no white smoke out the exhaust…
it’s been having trouble starting lately (which i think is an entirely different issue) and every once in a while I will get a whiff of coolant while I’m idling or driving.
also the idle is pretty rough. And sometimes when I am stopped I can smell gas, but I haven’t found any kind of gas leak either.
I have no idea what to look for now.
