I agree with soundguy pull the radiator and have it fixed. Easy enough repair to just let it go.If its leaking its comtaminating the ground and not to mention if a animal finds the drips.Only takes a teaspoon to kill a large dog

 

[Soundguy]

plus a leak stop fix can fail when you need it the most. no need to dump a 1500$ engine on a 75$ rad fix...

When I had my 1948 8N, I purchased parts from here when I couldn't find them local. Valu-Bilt Here's the page for your oil drain plug http://www.valu-bilt.com/product_info.php?product_id=13088&item_number=A 574954

but in my case Sc i get antifreeze that comes out of the overflow and it has bubbles in the radiator is that bad? what do i need to do do i need to start it up and let it run alot longer to see if the bubbles go away?

 

[Soundguy]

if you are getting continous bubbles in a radiator.. you have a compression gas leak. could be a head gasket.. could be a cracked head.. etc.

if the engine has been apart.. after warming, retorque head. if still got bubbles.. time for a looksee.

my oil is clean my radiator is clean no white smoke

but when cold do you have bubbles in radiator? that is a sign of compression leak. Pull plugs see if one is cleaner than the other if so that could be the leaky cyl, its being steam cleaned.

yep.. might not be going into the oil ( water ).. and it might not be sucking water into a combust chamber.. might just be intruding into cooling sys.

remember rad pressure is 4 psi.. combustion cyl pressure is 90 psi spec min...
