It depends on how bad the leak is .If its a really bad leak to the point where the car is starting to overheat then no
No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.
For radiator leaks look for the following signs: The car will overheat Coolant level will frequently drop Pool of coolant or water under the car radiator Obvious leak noted from radiator on starting the car Faulty radiator cap causing the leak
The car will over heat.
The leak is very small, so small it nay not be perceptible. Also, the small leak maybe internal (crack or manifold leak) and is evaporating, leaving very little to no trace. Can you smell coolant in the exhaust (somewhat weet smell)?
your cooling fans are not kicking in. They make have clutches that have gone bad. they need to be replaced. Also check the themostat
there might be a leak some where in a coolant line. or maybe you have a leak in your radiator.
It will overheat, unless you can successfully air cool it.
You have to determine the source of the leak then decide on how to fix it.
Yes you can. A cracked block does not necessarily mean the car will overheat. If a block is cracked at a coolant jacket then coolant will leak out and the car will overheat if the leak is bad enough. If the leak is not very major or if the crack is at a point that does not have a coolant jacket then it will not overheat. A cracked block could leak oil, compressed air/fuel, coolant, or nothing at all and still be cracked. -R. Mesyef
cap is off
Yes, because your vehicle will overheat.
