perhaps sounds like a radiator seal between the end tank and radiator...or a 
cracked end tank....this is the EXACT same spot mine would leak fluid as i 
drove...evenutally being sprayed in a very fine mist to the pax side 
windshield.

Hey dean
I had a cracked end tank on mine and had it replaced.  I took it to "The 
Radiator Shop" here in vegas.   60 bucks for the work and they cleaned the 
cores and pressure checked it. so far so good. The tanks and seals CAN be 
replaced if they have the correct tools.

Yes, I took those pics with my little Nikon Coolpix 800, but my wife's 
Nikon Coolpix 550 is just as good.  The thing to do now is to take pix 
as you do a job so that when you go to put it back together you can 
check stuff.  It is just so easy and so perfect! Yes, 944 and 928 
instruments are almost identical.

There are a lot of other tasks that have been documented.  Just send 
the question to <928@rennlist.org> and fourteen guys from all over the 
world will answer!

The radiator job is not bad. The shrouds and stuff are very obvious.  
Hardest part is undoing the transmission cooler lines without messing 
up the fittings.  Have to use two wrenches on each fitting so you don't 
twist stuff.  Electrical connection at bottom port side for the fan 
switch.  Other little tubs. No biggy.

My rad was leaking at the end cap seals.  I bought one new endcap and 
two special O-rings from 928 Specialists.  Then  carefully (VERY 
CAREFULLY)  bend all the little ears back to remove the end caps, clean 
everything (I ran rods and air/water jets thru all the tubes), put in 
the new o-rings and bend em all back down. BUT (very important)  the 
end caps have to be strongly compressed BEFORE you start bending the 
ears back.  The O-rings must be compressed, but only when ALL  the ears 
are bent back down can they hold the o-rings compressed.  You CANNOT 
just bend one back and expect it to compress the o-ring.  So you can 
use three nylon straps with the little ratchet tighteners, or BETTER,  
use three of those long reach clamps that work with 1/2" steel pipe.  
These are pretty cheap at Home Depot.   I did not use any gasket sealer 
of any kind.   But my radiator went back together just fine and it has 
held pressure now for almost a year with no problem (I drive it to work 
daily and run errands on the weekends).

any more probs, let me know.
