Mine is in the timing chain cover gasket. You can find your leak by pressure testing your coolant system.
Probably a blown head gasket make sure none of it is getting into your oil.
Not on the 2002 Ford Explorer - 4 door ( first year of generation 3 ) Ford has a way of checking / adding from underneath if a leak is suspected or the transmission performance is declining yes but where do you check the fluid level?
fail safe mode is for the 4.6 L V8 engine only - it means that you have lost your engine coolant - find the cause of the coolant leak and repair it , then refill your coolant system
No
If it is an internal leak the coolant will end up in the crank case mixed with your oil and it will ruin the bearing/engine - if external leak then the engine will overheat when it runs low on coolant, and blow your head gasket
Have the coolant system pressure tested, the pressure test will increase the coolant leak.
In general, yes a coolant leak in a 2002 Bonneville can be fixed. The issue whether it is worth the money to fix the leak. If the coolant is leaking from an upper or lower coolant hose, the repair is simple and inexpensive. If the coolant leak is from the radiator, it will be a bit more difficult and/or expensive to repair. Moving up the scale, if the coolant leak is coming from a manifold gasket, it will be still more expensive. Likewise for a coolant leak from the heater core. And at the upper end of the scale, if you are leaking coolant from a cracked engine block, you're looking at replacing the engine.
The Ford Explorer may have an exhaust leak. An exhaust leak is loud and will lead to sluggish acceleration as well as a loud raspy sounding vehicle.
pressurize the system. that'll make the leak leak faster and you should be able to find it easier.
u obviously have a leak u can but can off gas that has necassary oil and a dye mixed in with it put this in system and the dye will show where the gas leak is
A leak somewhere in your Vacuum System.
Any coolant hose could be leaking. Clean the engine bay, removing dirt and grime. Watch closely to see where the leak is. Also check all hose clamps to make sure that they are tight.
