take it into a mechanic is the best way to save money, trying to find the leak yourself takes time. it could be a sealent problem or in most cases just a bad clamp or rubber hose.
Coolant can certainly be lost through leaks in the cooling system hoses, but can also be lost through a blown head gasket which might cause the vehicle to idle or run rough, and will also result in water vapor or steam from the tailpipe.
Coolant can also be lost through a faulty heater core, and this will cause the windows inside the vehicle to steam up constantly.
Its a strong indication of a blown head gasket
Sounds like a leak.
One of the most common causes is from a crack in the radiator. The radiator will usually leak antifreeze before the coolant hoses or hose connections begin leaking during the life of a car. If you don't see evidence of a coolant leak on the exterior of the engine and cooling system or on the ground below the engine, the leak could be internal. This could be costly if allowed to continue. Have the system pressure tested and repaired asap.
The type of car antifreeze that is safest to the environment is propylene glycol antifreeze. While it is still not totally safe, it is less toxic than other antifreeze.
Could be oil mixing with antifreeze indicating a bad head gasket Are you losing motor oil?
If losing anti freeze but not visible leaking typically means bad head gasket. Antifreeze is leaking into combustion cylinder and therefore evaporating and going out exhaust pipe as steam.
My dad puts antifreeze on his car.
no but antifreeze in oil will eat the bearings
the brakeMoreAlso losing all transmission fluid will cause your car to stop while driving.So will crashing into something.
We always renew the antifreeze in our car before winter.
something.
A leak.
