1 Answers
Solutions for radiator leakage: 1. Take it to a repair shop for inspection and replace the radiator if necessary; 2. If the leakage persists, check whether the radiator cap is properly fastened. Try pressurizing the radiator to identify the exact leakage point before deciding on a repair plan; 3. Unscrew the engine oil filler cap to check for signs of oil emulsification. If found, disassemble the engine to replace the cylinder head gasket. Do not drive if the radiator is leaking, as insufficient water or coolant will prevent the engine from cooling properly. This may cause cylinder scuffing or bearing seizure due to overheating, which is extremely dangerous and could prevent the engine from starting.
