What Causes Antifreeze Leakage in Vehicles?

[BrielleLee]

There are three common causes of antifreeze leakage in vehicles: 1. Radiator damage or poor sealing of the upper and lower hoses; 2. Loose connections or poor sealing at the overflow tank, water pump interface, and various pipe fittings in the cooling system; 3. Damage to the cylinder head gasket, excessive flatness deviation or warping of the joint surface between the cylinder head and cylinder block, or loose cylinder head fastening bolts. Relevant information about antifreeze is as follows: 1. Introduction: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or cylinder head. 2. Function: It provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; prevents scale buildup, avoiding reduced radiator efficiency; and ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range.
