Re: Overflow grommet

If you are talking about the overflow pipe and grommet that goes into the top of the battery tray/reservoir, they are both discontinued from GM.

Re: Overflow grommet

Maybe seal the grommet by applying RTV to both edges.

Just a thought - why would coolant be leaking at the top of the container? Overfilled? Shouldn't be possible.

V8 and V6 overflow/battery trays are identical... no need to limit your search to V8's.

Re: Overflow grommet

thanks you guys for your help
I may try the RTV bc its not leaking more like a small pool of ANTIFREEZE sitting in the hole on top of grommet where the tube inserts if you get what im saying ?

Re: Overflow grommet

I wonder if the rubber hose or the metal tube is cracked, coolant running down and pooling on the top of the reservoir?
