Default Raditor Fluid Leaking....

All of my radiator fluid leaked out while I was driving my '99 GT. No clue where from. I checked the hoses, and everything was great. Any ideas?

Is it leaking on the ground, or is there an internal leak?

Is the drain valve on the bottom of the radiator closed? Maybe it worked loose and let everything run out...

You need to fill it back up and try to determine where it's leaking... Is the water pump circulating? Is the motor getting hot?

It leaks everything. It overheated on my way home and I to stop and have someone pick me up. I later went back with a pitcher of water and barley made it home. I cant really tell where it is leaking because there is radiator fluid all over the motor too.

**I bottomed out before this happened, but I do that alot.

If the coolant is all over your motor, it sounds like your manifold coolant crossover is leaking.

That is a common problem that someone did a class action lawsuit and won. Ford had to reinburst or fix this issue for free. Anyone that has the plastic crossover tube should replace the intake before it cracks.
