Why is coolant coming out from the exhaust pipe of a car?
1 Answers
The reasons for coolant coming out from the exhaust pipe of a car are as follows: Excessive coolant: If the coolant exceeds the marked line on the reservoir, it may overflow during driving. Thermostat failure: A faulty thermostat can cause the water temperature to rise excessively. When the water temperature is too high, the coolant cannot enter the engine's water passages for major circulation. As a result, the coolant circulates only within the radiator (minor circulation), leading to overflow. If the water passage in the engine cylinder head gasket is damaged, high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gases from the combustion chamber can enter the cooling system through the damaged area. This causes a rapid increase in temperature and pressure within the system, forcing these high-temperature and high-pressure gases to be released.
