Can You Still Drive with a Coolant Leak?
1 Answers
Whether you can still drive with a coolant leak depends on the specific situation: 1. If the antifreeze is only slightly dripping, you can continue driving; 2. If there is a severe antifreeze leak but some antifreeze remains in the radiator, the driver should be cautious and can slowly drive the car at low speed to the nearest auto repair shop for maintenance; 3. If the antifreeze has completely leaked out, you should not drive the car and must tow it to a repair shop. The functions of coolant are: 1. To provide anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. To prevent scale buildup and avoid reducing the radiator's cooling efficiency; 3. To ensure the engine operates within the normal temperature range.
