What Causes Rapid Consumption of Car Antifreeze?

[VonLyla]

Rapid consumption of car antifreeze may be due to leaks. There are several reasons for antifreeze leakage, including damage to the radiator gasket or overflow tank, loose connections at the water pump interface and various pipe fittings in the cooling system, or damage to the antifreeze storage container or piping. Below is relevant information about antifreeze: 1. High-temperature consumption: Antifreeze normally experiences some consumption. Under continuous high-temperature conditions, a certain amount of antifreeze evaporation is normal. However, if antifreeze is being consumed very quickly, it is likely due to leakage and should be inspected promptly. 2. Antifreeze leakage: The primary reason for rapid antifreeze consumption is leakage, which could be caused by damage to the antifreeze storage container or piping, leading to antifreeze leakage.
