The coolant blew out of my 94 Concorde last week. I was down about a
gallon. Car did not overheat, but the temp gauge was nearing the red
zone. I refilled and drove home with no problem. Since then I have
not used any. I left the car running in the driveway for a half hour
with no loss. I checked with the heater on and off.

Pressure holds at 8. Cap is rated at 17. If I pressurize at 20,
fluid blows out the cap until it hits 8. BUT I did not see any fluid
by the radiator resevoir when the coolant first blew out. It was
difficult to locate any leak at night. I did spot some towards the
firewall on left center side of engine/trans.

I doin;t knowof I have ever replace any orig hoses. 12 years,
125,000 mi. Maybe it's time to do them all. Any Ideas? I don't like
self healing problems because they are potentially masking a serious
situation.
