Hi,
Have a 2001 Impala and need help identifying the valve in the picture. The picture is the underside of the radiator.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello Dennis211, welcome to the forum. I don't believe that is a valve in the picture. I believe it is simply the lower rubber mount on the radiator. If I remember correctly there is a hard plastic leg that is molded as part of the tanks on each end of the radiator and a doughnut shaped rubber vibration mount goes around it and is placed in the hole in the radiator core support. It looks like to have a coolant leak somewhere, maybe a bad hose, loose clamp, crack in the radiator tank or corroded tube(s) in the radiator core. When I had a 2001 Impala, I had to replace my radiator when the core started to leak due to corrosion.
