Whoa, you have got a problem! This is an indication that the head gasket is leaking on this cylinder. This vehicle needs to go into the shop immediately!
If you overfill the reservoir and radiator with antifreeze, it will generally expand as it gets hot and spill out of the reservoir. When it does that, it will usually spill onto the hot engine and create "smoke".
The most effective way to clean up an antifreeze spill is to use kitty litter. You pour the kitty litter over the entire spill and let it set for several minutes. After it has set, use your shoe or a gloved hand to grind the kitty litter into the spill in circular motions.
Cat litter as it absorbs
then you should have your radiator flushed because you have rust in it. FYI: antifreeze can strip the paint off of your it you spill it. Also, you may need to replace your radiator if the antifreeze is leaking, it may be through a rusted/corroded portion of the radiator.
Yes, if it is glycol base the vapors can cause headaches and nausea,and if strong enough can cause brain damage
No. It can result in damage to the engine if you loose all of your coolant. I have damaged an Alternator by coolant spraying on it. There is some risk if you try to work on the radiator or remove the cap when the engine is HOT. The fluid can spray on you can cause burns. Antifreeze is not harmful to you if you spill it on you. ( cats and dogs are attracted to antifreeze and could possibly kill them if they drink it )
Because the Heater Core is Bad. Are you sure its antifreeze that's leaking? It could just be condensation dripping off the a/c - least that's what my mechanic told me.
Blown head gasket. More common on a catera is a cracked oil cooler, head gasket problems are very rare on them.
It wont do any ham, if you are a clean ind tidy freak just wash is of wit a bit of water.
yes, but only partially. otherwise coolant will spill all over the ground. its toxic to pets and bad for the environment.
Not sure, but since antifreeze is a liquid, you would probably have better luck using an absorbant solid. I worked a gas station once and we used kitty litter for gas spills.
Take normal safety precautions and be careful not to spill it on the ground. Cats and dogs seem to like it's taste, but it's VERY poisonous to them.
