The connection at that side of the radiator is pretty solid, so if it's not the radiator itself then I imagine the coolant is running down the lower coolant...

I owned in the 90's a Fiat 126p and now the Abarth.
Thanks for all...
 

There is no light for low coolant, so you need to keep an eye on it. A light means an overheat, and that is something you do not want to do.

      I'm impressed... great find. I think that'd probably be around $5K locally.

      We went back into lock down and I put the last touches on my kitchen today. The original drop-in Jenn Air stove died many years ago but replacing with a standard stove required redoing 'most everything. Cabinet makers are booked until Fall 2021, so spent the last 6 to 8 weeks doing it myself (8 hour days). That "bucket" in the stove insert is a piece of stove pipe used for the stove's downdraft vent. (Tackiest install job I've ever seen; dude knew nothing about cabinetry.)

      Before:
      center.jpg

      After, including adding 3 (white) cabinets to hold all my small appliances.
      completed.jpg
      Good weather is here, so refinishing old cabinets and building doors will wait. The openings are now compatible with any slide in stove & fridge, counters 1" taller (tiled), a "fancy" stainless sink, and decluttered counters with phone/modem connections in their own cubby. The last piece of the puzzle was delayed due to snow... the "plastic" cutting board should arrive by Wednesday so I can swap out the 43 yo wood board in the cabinet.

          The rally beater got a good cleaning, inside and out. Waiting on some parts from rockauto to get delivered but it's running really well.

            Solid looking car. Just what you need in the winter. I've also use Rock Auto. For my son's Impreza, I got a bad Moog wheel bearing once and they took it back no issues. I replaced it with an OEM Subaru branded wheel bearing from them at a good price, too.

              The 500 has been a blessing the last couple months. I figure I put in 1000 miles, back and forth, and the little car made the trips a lot more fun... or less arduous. With the lift in quarantine everyone is back on the roads and driving like Seattle traffic. The car was a lot more useful than I expected, when I first bought it. I even had one load, tile and grout, around 400 lbs.

                My back hurts just thinking about all that tile and grout! Glad to hear quarantine is lifted.

                  Got my 2nd vaccine shot of Pfizer, yesterday. Should be fully affective, in 2 weeks. No side affects, at all. My wife is a week ahead of me. 3nd wave of vaccine for my daughters, next month. Can’t wait to go out and buy new furniture, for the new house. Still going to wear a mask, till everyone’s has been vaccine.

                  Finally Spring is here, High 60’s all next week.

                    Your daughters are getting 3 shots? Congrats on yours, with no side effects. They say that some of the second shots affect people because the vaccine is working. The first starts the immune system, the second is seen as an invasion. Some of the people who had a reaction to the first shot were tested... found they had had Covid and didn't realize it.

                    I am now eligible to get a shot... need to get it scheduled.

                      lol The tile wasn't bad, but it took most of a day to cut/unbolt the original stove. I couldn't lift it out in one piece, so took it out in convenient pieces. (The original drop in Jenn Air suck when it came to removal.)

                        My daughters are in the 3rd, wave of getting shots. After the 2nd shot. A few people I know were getting a temperature, chills, headaches, upset stomach, feeling weak.

                            I like to tile floors. I usually rent those large title cutters from Home Depot. They would never fit on a back of a Fiat 500. I hate doing up stairs bathrooms. Running up and down the steps. so you can cut tiles. Before we sold are old house last September. Had LP waterproof flooring installed. Looks just like wood.
