What Causes Coolant Leakage?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for coolant leakage: 1. Sealing issues in the cooling system, where the connection between the coolant reservoir and the radiator is not tight, leading to coolant leakage. 2. Pipe problems, such as aging or cracking pipes, causing coolant leakage. 3. Radiator issues, where the radiator is corroded, resulting in coolant leakage. Below is more information about coolant: 1. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, primarily functions to prevent freezing, cool, prevent corrosion, and resist scaling. Coolant is colored to distinguish it from other liquids, making leaks easier to detect. Most coolants are green, blue, or pink in color, have a thick consistency, and feel slippery to the touch. 2. Leaks mainly occur around the radiator area. You can check the radiator's surface and pipe connections for any signs of liquid. If there is significant coolant leakage, the water temperature will rise, and the car's dashboard will display a water temperature warning. It is advisable to inspect and repair the issue as soon as possible to avoid damage.
