Why will hot water leak more rapidly than cold water through small leaks in a car radiator?

It is not so much the temperature of the water but the pressure that the hot water produces. If you will look at almost any car radiator cap you will notice a warning that says something to the effect
'warning contents under pressure. Do not remove when hot.'

Why is there a reddish substance with a low viscosity leaking out of your radiator?
It could be transmission fluid. Many transmissions are cooled by running a line through the radiator. Check for small tubes going into the radiator, if you only have the two large engine coolant lines, you don't have a transmission cooling line in the radiator.
Action potentials are conducted more rapidly when transmission is?
On a small diameter axon
Intrusive igneous rock forms small crystals because it cools rapidly.?
false
Does rapidly cooled magma or lava contain small crystals?
Yes. Rapid cooling of molten rock produces small crystals.
Diffusion between two gases occurs most rapidly if the gases are at?
high temperature and the molecules are small
Why do you smell anti-freeze odor through radiator but no leaks found?
It could be a small enough leak that it evaporates before dripping.
Why does radiator leaks transmission fluid?
Some have an internal transmission cooler & extra small internal radiator for that purpose.
How do you fix a radiator leak on 1987 crown Victoria?
It depends - if the leak is small, just put a bottle of Barr's stop leak in the radiator - make sure you follow the directions. It works great on small leaks.
What could make Water disappear from radiator no leaks?
You could have a small head gasket leak and it is entering the piston chamber and burning up.
Will pepper stop your radiator leak?
Ground Black Pepper will, in deed, stop a small radiator leak. I've done it many times. I've NOT experienced any bad effects from doing this. If (when) leaks persist, it is time for a new radiator.
What is Barr's Stop Leak?
Barr's Stop Leak is a brand of radiator repair chemicals. Barr's Stop Leak is poured in the radiator and the engine is run at an idle for a few minutes. It will repair small leaks like those that happen if a rock strikes the radiator.
Where do you add bars leaks on a 2000 jetta with a small leak in the radiator?
You install "stop leak" in the radiator per the MFG directions.Dont use barsleak use a chemical called therma weld it work perfect for me its about 300$ and worth it!!!!
Which way does coolant flow in a small block Chevy engine?
It goes in through the lower radiator hose, and out through the upper.
How do you get air in your break line?
Leaks do that. You can suck air into the system through small cracks in your line. Air can also get into the system by having low fluid levels in your master cylinder. Your cylinder can get low because you have small leaks in your wheel cylinders.
Why would a 1995 Chevy lumina run hot after the thermostat the radiator and the water pump are all new and have been replaced in the last 2 weeks?
Only a guess but assuming the hoses also are new, there are small water ports that run through your engine block and heads to provide cooling in between the cylinders. If the mentioned items were replaced due to a leak or leaks in the system, then there was probably some form of "radiator sealer" or "stopleak" stuff used which could then seal those small ports. Unfortunately this is not uncommon as they sell stuff to plug "larger" leaks and it ends up plugging the small ports. They sell radiator flush that you run in your radiator for a set time period, it MAY help bring some of that stuff out of the block. My advice is whether or not you use the rad flush stuff, take it to a reputable shop in your area and have it hooked to a machine that will completely push water through and flush the entire system.
You just replaced your radiator and overflow tank on your 1997 Cadillac Deville Concourse It doesn't overheat but smokes from under the hood What is the problem?
check radiator for small leaks or cooling lines which would most definitely cause it 2 steam when running after awhile
Explain why gases flow through small hole?
Gases are able to flow through a small hole because of diffusion. This is the process by which the rapidly moving molecules move apart through the collision with other molecules.
