Your 97 Ford Taurus is leaking coolant how do you find out what is the cause?

Let me tell basically the places it could be leaking. If it inside the car then the heater core is probably bad. Check the radiator, the top, and bottom coolant hoses. The bottom hose will coming from your water pump. The hoses or the water pump could be leaking (if the pump is leaking then it will have to be replaced). There is a thermostat that could leak if not properly installed. This will be located, under a housing, at the point your top hose enters the engine. There will also be two hoses going toward the fire wall. These are the in and out hoses for the heater core. Theses could also be leaking. You could always get a UV light kit and put dye in the coolant and trace it that way also. (This in my opinion is the easiest method.) Well, I hope you find it. Good luck.


If you are leaking antifreeze and the car is smoking what could be wrong?

It depends on if you see the antifreeze leaking or it is just disappearing. If it is just disappearing then a bad head gasket or cracked head may be the problem. The smoking could actually be vaporized antifreeze. If that is the case don't run it until you can get it fixed.


You have antifreeze leaking only when car is running It is dripping down underneath the passenger side next to trasmission It is pure coolant You changed thermostat?

I would check the hoses leading into your radiator, and also the overflow for antifreeze. If that is not the problem, it could be your heater core. Your heater core might be leaking, you might have a hose leaking

Why is oil leaking out of the bottom of the car?

It could be a number of things, The most likely however is a leaking sump. Possible that its leaking from the nut if its loose or there is no washer, could be from the CV joint also. VW's are famous for valve cover gasket leaks. Oil blows though, runs down and drips from the bottom. I also had to replace the O-ring at the base of the distributor. It was causing the same thing. Bottom drip.
