What Are the Causes of Car Radiator Leakage?

[KyleFitz]

The causes of car radiator leakage are: 1. The radiator is cracked or corroded; 2. Oil emulsification; 3. The radiator cap is not fastened properly; 4. Leakage at rubber hose connections; 5. Radiator tank rupture. The radiator is part of the car's cooling system. In an engine's water-cooling system, the radiator consists of an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, a main plate, and a radiator core. It uses water as a heat transfer medium to conduct heat and dissipates it through large-area cooling fins via convection, maintaining the engine's optimal operating temperature. The method for cleaning a car radiator is: 1. Remove the bumper to locate the radiator; 2. Adjust the water gun nozzle to a spray pattern and set the pressure to an appropriate level, then rinse the radiator surface; 3. Check if the cooling fins are damaged; 4. Reinstall the bumper in the reverse order of removal.
