The radiators are a big pain to get out of those vehicles. You need to remove it from the bottom. Which engine do you have the 3.0 ohv or the 3.0 dohc if you do not know for sure what is the 10th digit of the vin.

A blown head gasket will cause the antifreeze to be pushed out of the resivoir. That it why I asked you which engine was in it. The 3.0 ohv vin U has had many problems with head gaskets.
