2000 XJ, 99 Engine swap done about 2,000 miles ago. Replaced Radiator, thermostat, water pump and all hoses.
Couple weeks ago, electric fan stopped working overheated on the trail. Noticed that my rad cap was popped allowing pressure to be released. Also noticed there was never a change in my coolant overflow bottle, always the same amount running, not running, hot or cool.
Put a new rad cap on, hard wired the fan wheeled for another day and drove 6 hours home. Went wheeling today stopped to get gas on the way out and noticed that after about 20 minutes of running i was leaking antifreeze, another popped cap.
Any clues as to the fan not working (cts is what i was going to try) and the obvious pressure issues?
With fan hard wired it runs at a steady 210, leaving me to think my thermostat and water pump are working correctly when the fan is working correctly.
