bad sensor. Or if you did have low coolant at one point the light tends to stick on take it to a body shop. if its the sensor it runs about 60 bucks
Anywhere buddy
The leak could come from: hoses, punctured radiator, split gasket...you can put tracer dye in the coolant and search for the leak with a black light after you clean the engine.
The coolant will normally leak into the oil or into the cylinder
If it is the red light we see. I believe you will find that it is a low coolant light. Ours has a coolant leak so we see this light a lot. If it is the red light we see. I believe you will find that it is a low coolant light. Ours has a coolant leak so we see this light a lot.
Either do to a coolant leak or a failed coolant level sensor.
you have to find where the leak is first.
You may have a leak of coolant. Take your car to a shop and tell them you are smelling coolant and may have a leak.
If a coolant leak were caused by brake work, I'd never have that person work on my brakes - ever. Just the brakes, I would think it highly unlikely that it would result in a coolant leak. If they were replacing the master cylinder, then I could see a possibility of someone inadvertently causing a coolant leak, but that would still even be a stretch.
Leak in heater core
If you are having to add coolant, then you have a leak. The leak may be minor or it may be serious is the leak is internal, as in a blown head gasket.
No. It would leak coolant.
not likely. you will more than likely have a coolant leak in the car that ends up with coolant on the passenger floor. pressure test the system and look a for leak. the only way the check engine light would come on is if it had a coolant pressure sensor. most cars don't, only sweet expensive rides
