If the coolant level drops too low the engine temp will most likely increase but this will not happen till the level gets fairly low. If the level goes down quickly you should probably look for a leak and keep in mind that the coolant also flows through the heater core under the dash. If there is mo visible leak and the level keeps stoping I would recommend checking the oil level as there may be an internal leak and if so the oil may appear over full. Next you want to check the exaust for white smoke caused by coolant entering the combustion chamber through a leak in the head gaske or a crack in the head. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Having a leak in a radiator hose will have no effect on the engine running or not. However, in time the hose leak will cause the level of the coolant in the radiator to drop below a critical level and the engine will overheat.
For radiator leaks look for the following signs: The car will overheat Coolant level will frequently drop Pool of coolant or water under the car radiator Obvious leak noted from radiator on starting the car Faulty radiator cap causing the leak
An incorrectly fitted radiator cap can allow coolant to escape the system.
looks like your head gasket needs replacement or your cylinder head is crack
Filling the overflow to the correct level will suffice as the radiator will draw out what it needs.
There are several causes that will reduce the water level in your car radiator. The most common cause is evaporation. Engine overheating will also reduce the radiator water level.
Fill the radiator to the top with coolant. Start the car and keep checking the coolant level. The coolant level will drop when the thermostat opens up, so refill it.
If it is a water-filled or oil-filled radiator, it will leak fluid.
Radiator level will drop, also if it get's into the combustion chamber exhaust will be white smoke, oil level will rise and may change appearance/consistency and compression will be lower on effected cylinders-can be tested with a gauge to see which head it is.
Nothing all overfloo is extra coolant latter the car will be are on the normal level of coolant after a couple miles.of drive.
Drop Off happened in 1989.
Drop Mania happened in 1999.
