So I had my gaskets done and now I have a leak

So the head/base/intake gaskets were done in march and the Van has been running fine till a week ago.

I noticed the temp crawling up a little bit ... didn't think anything of it till I noticed a little puddle where I normally park. I had a look under the front and saw a little drip coming from the lower passenger side of the rad.

Looked at all the hoses and the clamps and the water pump ... everything was fine. So I pulled the headlight (thinking I could get a better look). Nothing ... Then I touched the AC condensor. It moved :eek:. It moved alot :frown: I took a look at it and the top mount was a hole and it was not filled with a bolt. Looked at the lower tab and again, no bolt. The entire rad and condensor was swinging back and forth with no effort.

Iam going to call the garage I took it to and call them on not putting the bolts in the condensor (I know there were no bolt there cause there are no marks on the tab where the bolt should go).

So what it looks like is the condensor was swinging back and forth hitting the front of the rad wearing a hole or causing a crack.

Has any one else heard of this issue (I could be wrong about the hole) or can someone go out to their van and get a pic of the top mount for the AC cond. on the pass. side?

Thanks
