If the coolant reservoir can not maintain the proper level of coolant, it is possible the engine could over heat when the level drops.
The most common cause is a blown head gasket. Biggest problem is that it'll get worse.
Hey Ken==Check the coolant in the radiator WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. Sometimes the coolant recovery bottle wilpopiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool still have coolant but the rad low. GoodluckJoe
gasket wears out in time. leaking coolant is the result of a bad gasket not the cause of it.
Many possible causes... coolant level, thermostat, head gasket, water pump, fan not working
The coolant sensor moniters the coolant temperature. A faulty thermostat could cause the engine to run cool.
Low coolant level or faulty coolant level senser. Did a radiator flush and replaced water bottle with sensor... still nothing.
a leak in a head gasket could cause coolant to go into only one cylinder.
No, low coolant would cause the opposite.
Yes, if it is leaking and the coolant level is low.
In any of the car the most cause of over heating is stuck or thermostant not opening to allow coolant circulation.
you could be low on coolant
The "Water bottle" is designed to store the water that is boiling. When the water in the radiator gets hot, it boils, which then gets ejected into the bottle to cool, once the engine has cooled, the pressure causes it to be sucked back into the radiator thus restarting the process. Its perfectly normal for all cars, don't be alarmed.
