Resources
The coolant reservoir is located near the radiator and serves both as the entry point when filling the cooling system with coolant (including the radiator) as well as an expansion chamber when the coolant fluid expands due to the rising temperature of an engine in operation.

Common Coolant Reservoir Failure Symptoms
- Cracks around the hose or around the seam
- Thermal Fatigue
- Collisions
- Poor maintenance
- Too much use of water mixing coolant
Common Causes of Failure
The plastic of the original coolant reservoir may show signs of thermal fatigue over time which can manifest with cracks around the hose or seam of the coolant reservoir. As a plastic engine part, the coolant reservoir tank is also vulnerable to collisions.
Thermal fatigue is the primary cause of coolant reservoir failures, therefore it is important to inspect and replace your coolant tank when replacing your radiator.
