Can You Still Drive with a Coolant Leak?

[StRobert]

Whether you can drive with a coolant leak depends on the situation: 1. If the antifreeze is only slightly dripping, you can continue driving; 2. If there is a severe antifreeze leak, promptly inspect and repair it. Reasons for coolant leakage: 1. Sealing issues in the cooling system: The connection between the antifreeze reservoir and the radiator is not tightly sealed; 2. Pipe problems: Rubber hoses may be aging or cracking; 3. Radiator issues: The radiator may be corroded. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, primarily functions to prevent freezing, cool the engine, prevent corrosion, and inhibit scaling. Coolant leaks mainly occur around the radiator, so you can check for liquid around the radiator's exterior and pipe connections. If there is significant coolant leakage, the engine temperature will rise, and a temperature warning will appear on the car's dashboard.
