It is possible that the antifreeze is coming from a bad water pump. Clean the engine off. Watch it to see where the antifreeze is leaking from, as it could be a hose instead of the pump.

your Toyota should have an overflow bottle to retain the antifreeze during normal operations. Unless it is overfull, I would be looking for a leak.


What could cause a coolant leak on a 97 camaro z28?

There can be many different causes for coolant leaks. What makes you think you have a coolant leak? If you are noticing a puddle of coolant underneath the car, then chances are its related to your radiator or the hoses that connect to it. It could also be your water pump and its hoses. If your car has been over heating and there is no puddle on the ground, then you may have a bigger problem on your hands - you may have a cracked head. There are so many factors involved when it comes to a 'simple' coolant leak. My advice, take it to a reputable auto mechanic and let him diagnose it for you. Good luck.

Does a bad thermostat cause coolant to leak out?

It can if it is stuck closed the engine overheats causing hot air ( steam ) to flow backwards to radiator cap which releases and blows steam pressure into recovery reservoir which starts blowing out the coolant in the reservoir making a puddle on ground.

Why is your antifreeze leaking out your 2003 focus?

Not really enough information given about the problem. BUT, here are several possibilities: leaking coolant hose - the water pump is failing - the radiator may be cracked. ALSO, if it disappears but leaves no puddle under the car -- the head gasket may have failed and is allowing the coolant to leak into a cylinder or into the crankcase. Good luck.

You have a 96 mystiqe and when you put antifreeze in a little puddle dripped is this dangerous and if so how much to repair?

it is very possible that the small puddle is caused by antifreeze that didn't make it into the hole, if it is not from that is wouldn't worry. the cooling system doesn't have to be 100% clean and %100 leak free. if there is always puddle, even when you don't fill it the problem is probably a small leak where a hose meets the radiator/water pump/engine block. i would not worry at all, i would consider it safe to drive. just make sure to check your coolant level from time to time. again, things like this are normal especaialy on older cars.
