Why the antifreeze is leaking but the temp gauge is still within normal all the time?

The temp may not go up until the antifreeze leaks way down. Or the temp gauge may not be working right. The leak needs to be fixed, or the engine can overheat and cause permanent damage.

Is it safe to drive the car if antifreeze is leaking to drive it to the mechanic about 5 miles?
yes just make sure antifreeze level is topped off and you will make it just watch temp gauge.
Why is coolant light still on after having water pump changed out. 98 Malibu was leaking antifreeze but has stopped after water pump was replaced How do I get coolant light off?
probably the coolant level sensor... Does the temprature gauge go up to hot then down to normal?
How to tell if you have a bad water pump?
Usually there will be a repeating chirping noise during engine running, also your tempurture gauge reads hot . with me, i was leaking antifreeze/coolant, but not all the time
Why is the radiator of your 1994 Honda Accord LS steaming when the temperature gauge shows normal?
probably leaking or maybe a bad rad cap
Why does your temperature gauge drop when engine is hot on ford focus2005?
check the antifreeze
If there is water in the pressure gauge of a fire extinguisher is it OK to use?
No. The diaphragm on the pressure gauge is leaking, and the gauge will soon be inoperative. Have the extinguisher serviced and repaired.
Will no antifreeze in the car cause the temperature gauge to go up?
Yes, because your vehicle will overheat.
What is the size of a normal post earring such as gauge or mm?
A normal earring is 18 gauge. I'm not sure of the mm..
Is it normal for smoke to pour out of the overflow hose connected to the coolant reservoir?
this sounds like a bad thing to me...like the reservoir and/or the cooling system, has no antifreeze in it and heat from the engine is exiting through the cooling system. Does your temperature gauge read in the normal range? Is the car running OK? FriPilot
Thermostat is going up and down and losing antifreeze in my 1999 Tahoe?
The reason the temp. gauge is going up and down is because it is low on coolant. Now where it is leaking I don't know, but you can start by checking these few things. First check the engine oil and see if it's over full or if the oil is white in color, If it is then the intake manifold gaskets are leaking coolant into the oil. You will have to replace the intake gaskets and change the oil and filter a few times within 5 to 10 mins. of engine running time to clean engine up. If the oil is okay when you check it and it's not white in color then it's not leaking into the engine and that's a good thing. Then Fill radiator up, put cap on and start engine. Take your fingers and fill around all 4 corners of the intake manifold where it bolts to the heads, or look at the corners real close to see if there is antifreeze leaking or a white resedu on the intake corners. If there is then the intake is leaking and you will still have to replace gaskets on intake. THIS IS A REAL COMMON PROBLEM WITH YOUR ENGINE.
Would antifreeze coming out of the overflow cause the temperature gauge not to work?
no you need to replace temperature sinding unit
Mazda mx-3 temperature gauge went hot?
Check your antifreeze? And could possibly be a head gasket.
