yesterday while driving in stop and go traffic, i noticed alittle smoke from the front of my car. then i smelled coolant! so i got to a gas station just as the dash told me "low coolant" or whatever. i opened the hood and saw the last remaining drops of coolant trickle out of the radiator.
i went in and bought a gallon of coolant and poured a little in. it was coming out of the petcock area. i then noticed the end of the petcock sitting on the radiator support!
how does the petcock knob just fall off while driving? i havent ever touched the F'ing thing! when i changed the coolant about 3 weeks ago, i just removed the lower rad hose. the knob is actually broke off. im friggin stumped!
so i went to napa and dropped $238 for a new one last night. im sure i could have removed the part that is broke off and got a petcock from the junk yard, but decided to put a new one in.
anyone else experience something like this?
