If the vac plug indeed is leaking, then your radiator has failed and is leaking coolant in to the trans cooler.nutbar78 wrote:Thats definitely a nice refresh.

I owe her an oil change next!

x2. Whatever you do, don't let a shop convince you to run the BG induction service on your pathfinder... totally messed up my throttle body leading to a CEL and rough idle. I ended up buying a new TB and installing it myself. That was a huge lesson learned for me.disallow wrote:I'd avoid this.

I think so. Seafoam goes in after all the sensitive intake sensors. Its supposed to be O2 sensor safe. I think you'd be fine.volvite wrote:Same for seafoam or different story?disallow wrote:I'd avoid this.

I am going to pull off the skid plate and take a look. If the rad did fail I guess i should bring it into Nissan, but is it worth it? Did anyone ever get a definitive from Nissan, "yes this radiator is better than the one it is replacing. No it will not fail like the original"?Baedarlboo wrote:If the vac plug indeed is leaking, then your radiator has failed and is leaking coolant in to the trans cooler.nutbar78 wrote:Thats definitely a nice refresh.
