2 Answers
Here are the solutions for water leakage inside the engine: 1. Replace the cylinder gasket, water pump, and water pipes, and tighten the clamps. 2. Repair the cylinder head, cylinder gasket, and cylinder block. 3. Replace the coolant. The following are the causes of water leakage inside the engine: 1. Cracks in the cylinder block. 2. The cylinder gasket is dirty or corroded. 3. The cylinder head bolts are loose or dirty and corroded. 4. The radiator is corroded or the fan is damaged. Below is extended information on engine maintenance methods: 1. Use high-quality engine oil. 2. Use qualified coolant. 3. Regularly clean the scale in the radiator. 4. Regularly remove carbon deposits from the engine. 5. Replace the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter on time. 6. Check the condition of the spark plugs. 7. Maintain normal engine speed.
I've encountered engine coolant leaks several times. The temperature gauge would skyrocket to the red line, scaring me into immediately shutting off the engine and pulling over. When I popped the hood, the coolant reservoir was nearly empty with drips coming from pipe connections. This issue can't be ignored - engine overheating leads to catastrophic failure. My advice: stop immediately to inspect for leaks. If you find a broken hose, temporarily seal it with hose clamps; otherwise call a tow truck to a repair shop. Common causes include water pump seal deterioration, cracked cylinder head gaskets, or corroded coolant hoses. Last time I replaced a small hose myself for about 100 RMB, but the gasket repair cost me over 1,000. Preventive maintenance is crucial - I check coolant levels and hose conditions monthly when opening the hood, and change antifreeze regularly to prevent internal rust buildup. Remember: safe driving outweighs any commute. Cars can be fixed, but accidents can be irreversible.
