New radiator leaking?
I bought a new radiator, nothing fancy. Its been five months, I am on vacation form work so i only drive my Z twice a week, temperatures are cold in the engine bay (around 155 degrees) and one day, when it was really f*cking cold at night i saw that it did a mild spillage. Whats up with that? No problems since then...
The spill was right infront of the driver side wheel under the radiator, checked for leaks through the hoses and nothing. BTW it leaked cold.

Well first off did you have some kind of anti-freeze additive in the radiator? If so then check the overflow and a see if the leak might have came from a return hose. If not the drive the car and bring to normal opperating temp. and see if leak happens agian and let me know...

I checked it, when the reservoir is in its "cold" stage before an engine run, the level is high. High as in how the level should be when the engine should be "hot". I went and drove around for sixty miles and nothing, I dont know what happened really, i kind of want to replace the hoses since i didn't check them after the replacement.
