radiator

I had a new radiator installed in my 1990 f150.
there is an outlet below the filler neck that my mechanic blocked of with a dead end hose. It started to weep a clear fluid not transmission fluid once the truck got warm is this normal, would it not push into the overflow plastic tank ?

Thanks.

That should be a line leading to your overflow thank. I was told by another member on here to make sure that it is an air tight seal.
If you search through threads I've made recently you might find it.

No, if it is blocked off, it wouldn't be hooked to the overflow tank...

Take it back to the guy you've already paid and have him fix it.

So if the block of was leaking slightly it would push antifreeze out?
There is another line to the overflow.
