I'm leaking a few drops of coolant (when up to temp) every minute or so. I'm pretty sure the main leak is the hose that goes from the tank to the motor/thermostat thing. But it's also all wet around the cap of the tank, and under it. Where can I buy a new tank? Would the problem be that the cap is just not sealing?

Thanks!
 
If your talking about the plastic tank it should not be leaking from the cap it should go out the over flow. Any ways check the junk yards prob find one for ten fifteen dollars if not buy a new one. I dont think it would cost to much. Are you sure its leaking from there though. Are you sure that its filled to the correct amount. If you have to much coolant/water in there when the vehicle warms up and runs into the over flow it will come out. It should be between the two marks. It may be marked hot and cold so if the engine is hot should be at the hot mark and if its cold should be about at the cold mark. Some just say low and full.
