Why is my 1998 jeep Cherokee Laredo losing antifreeze and power steering fluid?

It more than likely has a leak on one of the hoses or something. Try and look for a leak somewhere on it. It will probably be covered in grime wherever the leak is. On the coolant leak, try replacing the gasket where the thermostat is. When I swapped out my thermostat the gasket there was almost completely eaten away.-Sam1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L HO 4WDK&N Cold Air Intake w/ HeatshieldJet Performance Stage II Chip180 Degree ThermostatMagnaflow Muffler and Cat


Water leaking on passenger side when car is started the water increases 1998 Catera?

It's the coolant control valve for the heater core that's leaking. It's under more pressure when the engine is running and that why the leak is more noticable.


Water leak on passenger side of 98 Jeep Cherokee?

If the drain plug under the evaporator coil is plugged up it will cause condensation to leak into the car. If the heater core is bad it will allow coolant to leak into the car. If the leak is warm and smells sweet it is the heater coil.

If there is a coolant leak that is caused by the bleeding screw, the screw is probably stripped and needs to be replaced. The screw can also be wrapped with plumber's tape and screwed back in until the leak can be fixed.

How do you add transmission fluid in a 1998 buick regal?

Hi! You add transmission fluid where the dipstick is. The dipstick handle is red. If you have never had the transmission flushed out, you will need to buy a special red transmission fluid. My regal manual recommends using fluid labeled DEXRON-III. But, you can ask at the auto store. Make sure you don't put too much in, or it'll leak out and could cause a fire. Good Luck! :-)
