Radiators
A radiator is a heating device that consists of a series of pipes where steam or fluid circulates. There are different types of radiators, namely hot water, steam, fan-assisted, under-floor heating, and electric baseboard.

One possible answer is if the radiator cap is bad. Now you have to remember that there are two seals on every rad cap. The outer one, for sealing the cap to the radiator (or pressurised overflow), and a second seal on the pressure relief valve. If either of those seals is bad, hot coolant will be able to undetectably escape the system, thus causing no signs of a leak, yet lowering the coolant level in time. Try replacing the radiator cap.

Where is the radiator drain plug on a Kia Spectra 5?
The drain plug is located directly on the bottom of the radiator; more on the driver's side of the car. You will not see it unless you remove the black, plastic shield that protects the front underbody of the car; there are two small bolts (10mm) and 4 small 'phillips' plastic screws that need to be taken out to remove the black, plastic shield. The top of the drain plug has a 'X' on it. Just unscrew the plug with a phillips screwdriver and the coolant will come out. Have fun :)

Why does radiator fluid get into heater vents?
You heater works from water flowing from your radiator to the heater core, you may have a leak in your heater core.
You most likely also smell antifreeze inside the vehicle. It is most likely casued by a leaky heater core. Unfortunatly depending upon the make/model/year of your vehicle a heater core can be difficult and/or expensive to replace.

Look for a leak, if not white smoke from exhaust (going into engine)
I'd go buy a bottle of pre-mixed antifreeze, and just fill it up with that. Less hassle, works great.
Can you bleed air out of radiator 1986 nova?
there is a funnel you can buy that rests on top of the fill neck sealed. you fill it up, turn the car on let it run till it's warm and all the air will travel to the top of the system and exit atop the funnel, but i think this funnel is only available to mechs.

Why is radiator water leaking from under your engine 93 Saturn SC2 constant pour while running?
It sounds like the water pump is bad. The only other reason I can think of is if the block is cracked but unless it's been very cold and you don't have the proper amount of anti-freeze in it that is not very likely.
How do you bleed or purge the air out of the cooling system on a 1991 Buick Park Avenue?
Just keep the coolant level up and it should take care of itself. If you have run out of coolant, find out why. After you have repaired the problem, fill the radiator as best you can, fill the coolant reservoir to the full line then watch the reservoir. If the level drops, add more before you start the engine. The coolant system will purge itself of any air if there are no leaks.
Where is radiator petcock on 2003 Dodge Durango?
It is on the right side of the radiator (driver's side), not on the bottom, as would make sense. On my 03, there is a small access on the lower right side of the facia that is barely big enough for a hand. Look for a small protrusion with a fin (handle) on it. That is the petcock. Get ready for a mess...as it drains all over everything, and will drip from the middle of the bumper. good luck
