What is broken when antifreeze flows out of the exhaust pipe?

Possible causes include unqualified antifreeze, poor sealing of the radiator cap, damaged thermostat, air in the water pipes leading to poor water circulation, and rapid water heating causing boiling and antifreeze leakage. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a 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 head. Many people believe that antifreeze is only used in winter, but we need to correct this misconception. In fact, antifreeze is used year-round. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block. However, we need to correct a misconception: antifreeze is not just for winter use. In regular car maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year, and special vehicles may require more frequent antifreeze replacement. Automotive antifreeze comes in three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water.
