What Causes Coolant Loss?

[MaverickFitz]

Reasons for coolant loss: 1. Leakage; 2. Excessive natural consumption; 3. Coolant entering the cylinder and being burned or entering the oil pan. Leakage: Coolant loss due to leakage is relatively obvious, with water traces visible under the chassis or radiator. Minor leaks may require disassembling the chassis to detect. Excessive natural consumption: Issues such as engine oil or cooling system problems causing excessively high engine temperatures can lead to excessive coolant consumption. Coolant entering the cylinder: If the intake manifold gasket or cylinder head gasket is damaged, coolant can enter the cylinder and evaporate. The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze function. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold seasons, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block.
