It means that your water pump is about to sh!t the bed. COnsider changing soon. My 1997 Suburban had the very same symptom, slow fluid leaks. Then, one day there was a sudden gush of antifreeze fluid coming from underneath my engine. LUCKILY, I was parked at a service station. Rob N.
look for antifreeze coming out of the radiator as the engine warms up after a cold start.
Is it WATER or Antifreeze ? If it's WATER then it is coming out of the A/C box. It is condensation and that is normal. If it's antifreeze Then it is coming from the engine and I need to know what engine you have to help on that part.
A possible leak somewhere from one of the hoses. Likewise the leak could be coming down the engine firewall. I never owned a Audi. Wouldn't even purchase one.
If it is a 1996 or later you can not.
That is condensation due to the exhaust system being cold and the heat from the engine makes the exhaust system / pipes sweat. As the exhaust system heats up then that will stop. Now you said WATER not antifreeze. If you had engine coolant running out of the exhaust then it would be the color of the antifreeze and it would be steaming WHITE and then you would have an engine problem, MAYJOR. You said water. Drive it you have no problems. That is normal.
A bubble sounds from the engine usually indicates that the engine is seriously overheating. It is best to turn off the engine and call a mechanic. Adding antifreeze may help, but it is likely leaking somewhere.
Internal engine antifreeze leak what else could cause besides headgasket? there is no antifreeze in the oil it is clean
2001 Chevy suburban runs hot because the engine is heated up. There is heavy load coming upon the engine so it gets heated up.
Heater hose has a leak, freee plugs expanded in freezing weather because not enough antifreeze , engine block cracked or a blown head gasket.
Pressure test system to observe leak
It is possible that the antifreeze is coming from a bad water pump. Clean the engine off. Watch it to see where the antifreeze is leaking from, as it could be a hose instead of the pump.
radiator cap might be leaking
