My car has a radiator leak, I believe. It overheated on the way to a friend's game, and I filled it with a fresh gallon of coolant to help it make the rest of the way, and after being parked for 4 hours it had leaked that coolant right back out onto the pavement. I couldn't see a hole, but I could definitely see green liquid clinging to the underside of the car beneath the radiator.
Thankfully I usually walk to work anyway, and I have Thursday afternoon off, so I left the car at my friend's place, and will try to get it looked at Thursday.
Also, when I turned the car on at the end of the evening to check if it, the radiator fan didn't run, so I don't know if it's damaged too, or if, I dunno, the fan normally stays off until the car has been on X amount of time. Anyone familiar with cars have any insights?
Also, on a less pressing issue, I just moved into a new apartment, and got a washer/dryer cheap from a friend ($200 for the pair; great price, but it's not helping me look forward to auto repair bills). The dryer's installed and vented, and works fine. The washer I hooked up with hot water and cold water, but then there's this third hose, which I suppose is the outlet for the water when it's done.
Now, idiot me, I never paid attention to the hoses before. This is my first washer. I see there's, like, a hole in the wall between the hot and cold water spigots and this third hose fits down it, but it doesn't screw on or anything, and I'm worried of doing something stupid and getting water all in the laundry room.
Normally I'd just research online, but ugh, it's been a frustrating evening. If someone could please tell me what to do with that hose, I'd be immensely grateful.
