Apex Radiator?

[steamron]

My Apex has a Kubota engine, the radiator is leaking at the top right (from looking at it from inside the van) I believe it is the freeze plug. It was leaking a little from the cap that is on it but when I turned it the plug turned and is loose.

Any ideas, I can take it to a shop but like fixing things myself.

Thanks

can you take a pic, Ron?
cause I can't recall ever seeing a "freeze plug" on a radiator

..L.T.A.

aren't those soldered ???

You may be better off taking this into a shop/ make sure there is no corrosion or weakness in the water tank and if there is replace the whole thing.

any radiator shop will be able to do it for a fraction of what you would pay any shop within our industry.

I had the same problem with my first apex and took it to a radiator guy for a very good price and he fixed it since it wasn't under warranty anymore.

I want to say it was like $60 or so

From what I found it is a freeze plug, pop out, or whatever they may call it, it is designed to pop out if the radiator ever froze up. The water would have a place to escape.
Apparently it should not be soldered, only held in with some type of casket sealer, so I cleaned it all up and used Permatex No. 2
