I was driving today and my intercooler temp gauge hit almost 200 degrees. When I got home, I opened up the intercooler resevoir and found that it was empty! I looked under the car and it was covered in anti freeze. I can not see where all the fluid came out of, but it is all over the bottom of the car. The pump and fans both work when I turn the car on but there is no fluid left to pump. I just got the car home and its already dark so I cant get it on some ramps to see where it might be leaking from, but when I do take a look is there anything that I should look for?? and does anybody have any idea what might have happened and how I can get it fixed and taken care of??
This is a 2003 Supercharged S281 by the way.
-Thanks

Now that I think about it, I think the intercooler on an 03 is located under the supercharger so its not the intercooler thats leaking. What is in the lower bumper opening on an 03 is that just a small radiator that takes air up to the intercooler or?? That is where all of the antifreeze is coming out of on my car. The piece looks like a small radiator in the front center lower bumper opening that the intercooler fans are attached to. Can someone please help me out with this? or explain to me how it works and what that little radiator looking thing thats leaking antifreeze is so I can fix/replace it. Thanks

Upgrade time! Buy an afco or a gords, or any bigger more efficient version. Anything that will work for an 03 cobra will work for you, you may have to switch the ends of your hoses to clamp on style but thats no big deal.
LFP(Lightningforce performance)has a Heat Exchanger that will fit your car with the proper brackets and AN fittings.I'm pretty sure the cobra uses a different mount than the Saleen.
Awesome Ill give LFP a call and see what they have. Thanks Hollywood.
