Check the freeze plugs. large round plugs on either side of the block. Those are there for if your coolant freezes, they will go instead of cracking the block.

Why does water get into a car engine?

Several reasons... It is produced by combustion. This normally will go out the tailpipe if the car gets warmed up. Condensation. Moisture from the air in both gasoline and oil. Leaking gaskets. Not as common, but can come from coolant. Bad thing, getting coolant into rest of engine.


My 98 Chevy Malibu is leaking antifreeze but don't know to where?

UNFORTUNATELY, I have a 2001 Malibu and have had gaskets replaced three times now (intake and head) to fix coolant leaks. My sister and mom both have the same engine in their cars and have similar problems. Apparently this engine is prone to coolant leaks (which are pricey to repair).


Coolant flow direction for v6 Chevy engine?

Coolant is drawn into the water pump via the lower radiator hose, the water pump pushes the coolant thru both sides of the block and up into the back of both heads, thru the heads then out the front of the heads into the intake manifold then thru the thermostat and into the upper radiator hose into the radiator.


What causes 1999 alero to smoke?

Seeing smoke from the tailpipe usually means your engine is leaking something thru a gasket. There are multiple gaskets as well that could be leaking. ou have to determine what fluid id leaking (coolant or oil (or both)). The color ofthe smoke helps tell what type of fluid is leaking. White - coolant / blue/black - oil. Coolant - usually leaks thru the intake gasket which is VERY VERY common on Alero's. They now have a better grade intake gasket available. I just replaced mine on my 99 (under warranty thankfully). It costs around $500. Oil - you could be burning oil from worn piston rings, crankshaft seal, gasket, cracked part or head gasket (where it mixes with coolant). To find out what is leaking - check the level of coolant in the reservoir and monitor the level over the course of a week or two. If it gets lower, you are leaking coolant. Same for oil. Get an oil change and then check the level every week to see if you are gradually getting lower. you can also have a shop do a compression test of the engine. Hope this helps.


Where is the coolant bleeding screw on a 74 dodge 440?

Water pump is leaking - do you need to put coolant directly in the radiator or can you just fill the reservoir?

Fill both, but only remove the radiator cap when the engine has completely cooled off. Obviously have the water pump repaired as soon as possible.

Most vehicles have a drain on both.
