Leaking coolant when not running?
Can be a hole in the radiator or a problem with one or more of the hoses. A mechanic can run a pressure test to see where the problem(s) are located at.
How do you fix an antifreeze leak in a 2006 charger?
You need to pressure check the coolant system to determine just what is leaking first and the address that problem..........
Losing water Mazda 626?
Have system pressure tested at local shop unless the problem is obvious. Check coolant lines (upper and lower) to see if they are leaking. Check radiator for leaks. Water pump may be leaking. Also head gasket could be letting coolant in to oil. Pressure testing will check all these components
Why do you have to add coolant every month?
You have a leak in the cooling system. If you don't see evidence of coolant leaking on the ground, you probably have a head gasket problem. Have the system pressure tested soon before more serious damage is done.
What is happening when the coolant reservoir is overpressurized and starts leaking from the cap Is this a thermostat problem or cooling fan switch problem?
Is it too full? Well some vehicles are equiped with a little hose that will let coolant out if there is too much or too much pressure, but not all vehicles will have it. (If you are talking about the overflow tank, if the radiator cap is leaking, check to see if the cap is in good condition)
Is it safe to drive with wrong coolant?
If only adding coolant to a leaking system it is safe because soon you will be forced to drain the coolant and fix a problem
2007 cobalt 2.2 engine oil in coolant tank what could be the problem?
If it is an automatic transmission, the cooler in the radiator is most likely leaking into the coolant system.
Can a car run if one of the bolts on the water pump is missing?
It can run but if it is leaking coolant it will cause a problem soon.
What could the problem be on a 97 dodge ram if antifreeze still leaks badly even after the thermostat has been replaced and the radiator and pump was pressurized by a professinal and found no leaks?
Where is it leaking? That pressure test sounds funny, why would you pressurize only the pump and radiator? If you are leaking coolant outside the engine, locate the source. If you are losing it from the radiator but cannot find a puddle suspect a head gasket problem. Check the Radiator cap first, if it is bad high pressure coolant will travel back to the overflow bottle.
Keep topping up coolant on Renault there is no leak?
If coolant isn't leaking externally then it has to be leaking internally. A leaking head gasket or cracked head may be the problem. If this is the case, as it gets worse more coolant will enter the combustion chamber or engine oil. Either way you will be able to determine as it gets worse. There will be white smoke from the exhaust. May be intermittent. This is if coolant is leaking into combustion chamber. If leaking into oil, you will notice that the engine oil will have a brown/milky look to it as you check the oil level on the engine oil dipstick.
Your Chevy pickup is using a lot of coolant Is this a problem What could this be caused from?
Losing a lot of coolant can be a serious problem if you don;t keep an eye on the coolant level. Low or no coolant will cause the engine to overheat and cause some serious damage. If the vehicle is not blowing white smoke (steam) out through the exhaust (a sign of blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head); if the radiator or radiator hose(s) are not leaking; if the water pump is not weeping (a sign that the water pump is bad); and all clamps are tight, the problem may be that the radiator pressure cap needs to be replaced. answer just adding to what was said above. if the coolant isn't leaking anywhere (check the groung under the truck in the morning) then the 1st place you should be looking is your oil, i.e. blown head gasket. pull the dipstick to note the color of the oil. if the gasket is blown and the coolant is leaking into the oil you will see a milky brown colored sludge on the dip, kind of like creamed coffee instead of the normal black/dark brown color. otherwise, leaking coolant is mainly a problem if you don't keep the system topped off. let it get too low and you will overheat the engine. then you will have real problems. either way you should find the leak and fix it.
Coolant leaking into lower manifold Taurus?
A blown head gasket can allow coolant to see into the manifold, and out the exhaust. A broken piston ring can also cause this problem.
