When the water pump goes bad it can leak coolant. Coolant loss can also be caused by bad hoses, a bad radiator, or a hole in a freeze plug.

Take the second and the fourth full glass, and empty the contents into the second and fourth empty glass. Put the now-empty glasses back where they were. Now the glasses alternate between full, empty, full, empty, full, empty, full, empty, full, and empty.

Half empty and half full they look the same what are they?

You cannot "fill" to make anything "Full" unless you have an empty glass. knowing it was empty first, you could easily say its half empty.

Scientifically, its half empty.
