Radiator drain plug blew up?
So I was racing with my friend the other day and he noticed the cloud of fluid underneath my car flew into his. Then I noticed coolant level low warning so I pulled over. Looked underneath and saw coolant pouring down. So I checked and plug is missing. The whole plug with sleeve was completely gone.
Before this happened as I mentioned in other post only 1 gallon of water and 1 gallon of coolant went inside of reservoir before it was full. Any ideas why would plug and sleeve popped out? |

Looks like it wasn't installed properly. Plug was installed without the gasket, cross-threaded, or was overtorqued and cracked the housing.
I explained in your other posts why it only took 2 gallons of coolant, I don't know why you're still so hung up on that. |
