Why is your car losing antifreeze?

Cars loose Anti Freeze for one or more of the following reasons: 1. A leak in the radiator, or a broken radiator hose, or somewhere from the engine block. 2. If the antifreeze radiator an reservoir are overfilled, then when the engine heats up and expands the antifreeze. It has nowhere to go but out the overflow tube. 3. There is a crack in either the intake manifold or heads Gaskets, allowing the engine's vacuum to suck up the antifreeze slowly and burn it up with the fuel/air detonations. If severe enough, it will cause white smoke to come out with the exhaust fumes.

need find out where you are losing antifreeze = look for leaks at radiator hoses etc first, then intake manifold top side of engine along sides of engine as well.

A bad head gasket is the most common cause of antifreeze mixing in the oil. The antifreeze will dilute the oil and it will eventually cause your engine to seize up.

Will it hurt the engine if you mix colors of antifreeze?

in some case it will. the composition of antifreeze is different by colour. in some engines the chemicals react with the engine parts (i.e. gaskets or seals) and cause the parts to fail. use the proper antifreeze for your engine.
