.......... and just what I didn't really want to see..... - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

You know all, in the back of my mind I remember filling the coolant reservoir and maybe I threw away the rest of the water. I also seem to remember thinking to myself that it was a dumb idea to throw it on the garage floor (it's a non-covered, sealed concrete slab base)... so maybe this whole thing has been a red-herring...

In other words, it looks likes water. Tasted like water (and certainly not coolant, or screen wash...), so I think it's the dumb ID-Ten-T here who has a hazy memory...

Kinda like gasoline, only sweeter.

It must be starting to get cold up in the North east early this year.

Last week I pulled up behind my Z, and saw wet stuff under the pumpkin. Thought I was lookin' at having to get a new gasket in the rear diff - great

Then I rubbed my finger on the driveway, in the stuff, and got a whiff. Nothing. Water???

Then I saw it drip from the spare shield drain hole. HEAVY rain the day before. But dripping 15 hours later

Then I opened up the gas fill door. It was pooled almost completely over the tank cap. A junebug had gotten in the drain hole.

(tank is full, so there wasn't any tank airspace to cool down and draw that water, I'm hopin' here; I pulled the trigger and ran it for a minute to check)
