| Description of the problem | Driving in a high performance driving event on a hot day going around a fast right hand turn and felt the car being a little loose then noticed the on board computer flashing low coolant. I slowed down and pulled in to a safe place to check the motor and saw a coolant j shaped press fitting completely popped out and dumping mass amounts of slippery coolant on the engine and rear tires. I popped the fitting back in and safety wired it so hopefully it will not come back out. Replaced coolant fluid with new and burped the system. |
