youll have to pay attention to where it seems to be leaking from, hopefully not from the headgasket lol.

If you see alot of white smoke it could be leaking in the cylinders. Other than that it should be pretty simple to figure out where its leaking from, its not like theres really much to a banshee so spotting something leaking should be easy, IMO.

After you rebuild you'll need to fill the radiator w/antifreeze and then after you start it, turn it off and you'll need to fill it up again, keep repeating until the entire system is actually full because of the vacume, not just the radiator. You might need to start it with the radiator cap off (make sure its cold before you try that) and see if that helps suck the antifreeze into the system.

Pretty easy machines to figure out though, look close.

stock banshees hit around 65-70 stock depending on how long u dare hold it wide open lol, with a few mods they can reach 80s pretty easy.

Top off the coolent after every time you get it out. You cant fix the leak if you dont know where it is, so be sure to check everywhere. After i rebuilt mine I frogot to tighten down the coolent drain bolts on the sides of the jugs, so check them. Its highley unlikely that you cracked the jug. Just keep the radiator and resovior toped off, and check for leaks
