troubleshoot the coolant on a 1999 oldsmobile intruge
It sounds like you may have a bad heater coil. Next time you get a puddle, smell it... Chances are it is coolant and not water
Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.
I suspect that the transmission cooler that is built into your radiator has leaked fluid internally into the coolant part of the rad and into the rest of the cooling system.
a leak in a head gasket could cause coolant to go into only one cylinder.
No, low coolant would cause the opposite.
broken radiator
injectors
Bad temperature sensor? Plugged or restricted radiator? Water pump not circulating coolant? Thermostat not opening? System airbound?
water pump, oil, water, engine coolant....main cause would be engine coolant, just check to see if you have a leak.
blown head gasket
Leak in heater core
you have to find where the leak is first.
