S-10 Pickup

  • 63,000 miles
It's a 99 S-10 V6 / 4.3liter rarely driven, 62,000 miles on the vehicle. No real event leading to the problem. Right now it is leaking radiator fluid from the front of the engine block. I cannot see where the leak is directly as it picks and chooses days to leak and not leak. It hasn't overheated or anything yet. It still has the original radiator fluid in it from when I bought it. I keep telling my mechanic we need to flush or just change the fluid. For over 6 months he keeps saying its fine. It drips onto the skid plate under the engine and drips from there. Never a huge puddle just enough to make a 2 foot diameter wet spot. Nothing has been done yet. Mechanic says to put kars radiator stop leak in it. I have a long road trip coming up in 2 weeks and afraid to take it out of town.
