    Help
    I have a 1985 Maxim X that sprung a leak the other day and I cannot seem to get it stopped. Removed the coolant tube from the lower rad to the engine and replaced the o-ring with a o-ring from my local lowes.
    I have now replaced it 6 times using different sizes. Stopped leaking for 2 days but last night started to leak again. What the heck am I doing wrong here.

    Can you post some pics of where the leak is coming from? I had a leak on mine and it turned out to be coming from the water pump gasket, not the pipe. The leak looked like it was from the tube, but turned out higher up the engine. As well as the gasket, I used some water pump sealer stuff on the gasket and the leak stopped.

    I will try to get some pics this evening, very hard to see because of how tight the area is.
