Coolant leak from radiator or Radiator expansion tank ?
Hello,
I got a high coolant leak from somewhere near radiator . I am not a mechanic but when i carefully saw and google there seem to be a radiator coolant recovery tank located near fan where i can see the leak. Just wanted to confirm so that i can order coolant recovery tank for radiator ?

That is nowhere near the expansion tank.
BTW, the expansion tank you linked is not even for your vehicle. I recommend you ask someone that knows something about cars to help determine what is actually leaking before purchasing any parts. |

The expansion tank is the spherical plastic tank near the firewall. That looks like part of the radiator where other components such as the transmission oil cooler go...
