If Coolant leaks from engine when cold and reseals after it runs briefly what is it?
Wan2phish
an engine like any other metal expands and contracts with cold and heat. but u do have a problem. you either have loose hoses, bolts or a bad gasket. tighten everything up and if it still leaks determine if it is a hose or a seal leaking and replace it.
