On my M, there is a metal overflow tube from the radiator neck that goes behind the radiator and just below the tank on the left-hand side, the overflow goes between the tubes in the core and then I don't know where it ends.
Where does that tube go? I can't see what happens to it even when I peer in there with a flashlight.
The reason I am asking, besides my own curiosity, is that my radiator either started leaking this weekend or the overflow dumped antifreeze out since the source of the flow appears to be from the front, very near where the overflow tube seems to terminate. After it cooled I added a gallon of coolant and then ran it again for 20 or 30 minutes and there was some antifreeze seeping out, so I suspect I have a leak, though it was again near where the overflow appears to terminate. I have not pressure tested it, but will do so once I find a tester.
