03 Cobra IC Reservoir Leak

[Gmc72701]

How's it going gents,

I was out in my cobra last night doing some runs until it started getting hot, and I mean HOT. The heatsoak was never really a problem in this car so it caught me off guard. Lo and behold I pull into a rest stop to let her cool off, and I find before me coolant EVERYWHERE in the engine bay. Looking into the IC reservoir it's very low, with a lot of cooling pooling around the cap. I didn't see any kinked/punctured lines or any cracks in the tank itself ... so here I am befuddled. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks boys

The o rings on tubes is my first thought

For lose of fluid.

Pump may be intermittenting allowing fluid to get hot and blow out cap also

Check the intercooler lines themselves for cracks. You can run the intercooler pump by pulling the fuse and jumping it to run the system. I used a paperclip and it worked great for me when I had a leak. I found my leak on the connectors that connected the hose to the tank.
