Coolant leak


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a low coolant light and some spots on the driveway. What are the most likely places to find a leak? the hose that goes in just under the throttle body was replaced recently, so it's probably not that. i don't wanna spend a lot of time searching for a leak, so i'd appreciate some suggestions on where to start looking.

 

Thanks

Well, it's pretty basic... follow the puddle and drips, it'll lead you to it. But you've got to check the entire coolant system. All hoses, minor or major need to be looked over. Also, check the stop-cock on the bottom of the radiator to make sure that's not rusting out. Otherwise, since you know what fluid it is, a systems update may be needed (hoses, thermostat, etc.). Hope this gets you started.
