You've likely solved this by now, fuse or fusible link, but the capacity of the OEM unit is low. I ran a line in from the (+) post to a 3-outlet unit I bolted under the dash. Plenty of power for my...

You may have some pan screws loosened, so snugging them up (don't overtorque which just bends the pan) might help. I hate leaks and keep mine drip-free so that if I notice a drop or two it's new and...

While you're at this, it's not hard to pull the rad for easier access for the KDP work. My experience with rads is "when in doubt, replace the rad". [coffee]
