Yes. By little I'm talking two tablespoons. If more, then purge and refill with coolant and water.

You just noticed you have a big puddle of anitfreeze under my car someone looked at it and said its my water pump does that mean you shouldn't drive it?

You can drive it a little but make sure there is plenty of coolant. Don't let it overheat, not even a little. If it's leaking too fast, you might end up having trouble if you drive it, but you should be able to put in some coolant and drive it to a shop.

Is it safe to drive your car if you accidentally put window washer in the coolant reservoir?

I wouldn't drive the car . What I would do is use a cheap plastic turkey baster bought from Wal*Mart or another store and use that to suck out the window washer fluid from the engine coolant reservoir ( I don't know if it mixes or floats on top , if it mixes I would remove all the contents of the engine coolant reservoir and then replace it with a 50 / 50 mix of the correct type of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician , just what I would do )


If you accidentally kicked your rabbit after that your rabbit doesn't eat anything will it die?

Okay... here's my answer; I understand where you are coming from, if you accidentally kicked your rabbit and he's not eating he's probably just scared. I accidentally did the same thing to my rabbit a few years ago, she was perfectly fine, just a little frightened.


You accidentally put window washer fluid in the coolant container - what's the damage?

Probably no damage, especially if you only filled the reservoir with it and not the whole cooling system. Use a turkey baster and suck up what's in the reservoir, dispose of properly. Then refill with coolant. I'm really not sure if the washer fluid will screw with the various rust inhibitors or lubricants key to the coolant. If you're really concerned, just flush the coolant and refill the system.

Is it bad to driver your car with just water in the cooling system for a few days if the temp is well above freezing?

It is not a problem to drive with just water as a coolant for probably months as long as the temperature is above freezing. Using just water does cause engine parts made of steel that come in contact with the coolant to rust.
