What else can I help you with?
I Put dot 3 brake fluid in antifreeze how bad is it?
If you put the brake fluid in the overflow reservoir just empty the reservoir and pour in a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. If however you put it in the radiator itself, I would recommend you drain the radiator and refill. Brake fluid is corrosive and may damage the water pump seal.
When do you add coolant with the car started or not?
You should add coolant with the engine off and cool, top off the radiator and fill the coolant reservoir to the cool or cold level. When the system is hot or running it will be pressurized and will be dangerous to open. You can however add coolant to the overflow reservoir at any time.
What is the surge tank for in a 2001 Chevy Malibu?
A surge tank is basically a pressurized coolant reservoir. As your engine heats and cools the coolant expands and contracts. Because of this You need a place for extra coolant to go to when it expands and be drawn from when it contracts. Conventionally the recovery tank or reservoir was not pressurized. A tube from the radiator cap allowed coolant to be sucked and drained in to the reservoir. However, on many newer vehicles like yours the reservoir is pressurized and called a surge tank.
If my car is dripping antifreeze but it's not pouring out can i still drive it?
So long as the temperature of the engine is OK and you make sure that the reservoir is at approximately the right level it is fine to drive the car. If your cooling system is leaking I would have it fixed however before it gets too bad.

What is the main cause of overheating and stalling for a 98 Cherokee Sport?
check the thermostat, then the water pump, check for leaks (antifreezer) and be sure of having enough antifreezer in the reservoir. All things you should do. However at that age I would bet a paycheck that you need a new radiator.
Where do you put water into a 1989 Honda Civic LX?
If the car belongs to your ex-wife, either remove the oil cap or the gas cap and pour in whatever looks good. I assume you mean coolant. It goes into the radiator, either by removing the radiator cap on top of the radiator, or into the coolant overflow reservoir located to one side of the radiator. It's best to use 50% water and antifreeze instead of water alone. The place to put water under the hood of this vehicle can be in one of two places. 1. the reservoir holding coolant and water for the radiator / cooling system. 2. the radiator itself. The coolant reservoir for this car is located on the lower right-hand side of the car if you are facing the car from the front (as you should be). It will probably be a translucent-white plastic canister. The canister will have a round black or grey cap screwed onto the top. That cap will have a tube running from the cap to the radiator. That tube is what allows the antifreeze coolant and water mixture to flow to and from your radiator, which is vitally important for your vehicle. To add fluid to the reservoir, unscrew the cap from the top of the reservoir, and after doing so lay it to the side, being careful to not allow the interior portion of the cap (a long clear tube) be contaminated with anything. Lay it on a cloth towel for best results. After having done those things, look inside the reservoir in order to determine how much fluid it contains. The reservoir ideally should be filled 3/4 (or 75%) of the way to the top. Do *not* fill it all the way to the top. The fluid you will pour into the reservoir will be a mixture of antifreeze coolant and distilled water. Do *not* use tap water, or any other bottled water - use *distilled* water (can be found at your local grocery). The best mixture of distilled water and antifreeze coolant for most climates will be an even 50/50 mixture (50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water). If you live in an extremely cold climate, or are enduring a particularly cold winter (average temperatures are minus 30 degrees fahrenheit), use a little more coolant than water, around a 60/40 or 70/30 mixture. Most people will not need to worry about that unless they live in northern Canada, Scandinavia, or the Arctic Circle. ;) After pouring the necessary amount of the mixed fluids into the reservoir, screw the cap back on to the top of the reservoir. Make sure it is tight, but do not use a lot of strength: that cap is probably plastic, and you can easily strip the threads of the cap. Now, at this point, if you are just refilling a low reservoir, you are ready to start your car. If, however, you have a good reason to think that your radiator does not have enough fluid in it... then you might want to consider pouring some of your fluid mixture into the radiator. Consult your Honda manual to find out how much you should pour in. Remember: *NEVER* open the radiator cap unless the car has been turned off for *at least* an hour (or more if you have overheated the vehicle). Have fun!
Where is the power steering reservoir on a 1998 Infiniti J30?
I believe that there is no 1998 J30, however, the reservoir is located on the 1997 J30 just behind and to the inside of the battery. At least I hope that is the reservoir, as i just put fluid in it!
When Oil is leaking from car is this a serious matter?
well it really depends if it is gushing out then yes if it is dripping slowly it is a concern however it is not a immedate worry
How would a radiator cap cause a leak?
A radiator cap would not cause a leak! However, if the radiator cap is holding pressure, other weak parts could signal issues in need of attention.
Antifreeze is pouring out of your Kia Sorento what can it be?
this could be multiple reasons, however 2003 and 2004 sorento are prone to a coolant reservoir failure. This typically begins on the bottom side of the reservoir. Change it or else!
How deep is pyramid reservoir in California?
Pyramid Reservoir, located in California, has an average depth of about 130 feet (40 meters). However, its depth can vary depending on water levels and seasonal changes. The reservoir plays a crucial role in water storage and management for the surrounding areas.
