Default Re: Are you loosing coolant and not sure why?

Hi Don...

I had work done in Gaffney, but that was not the cause of the issue as I had the issue I think before that. And I did not have it changed at that time.

You can see the issue if you drive for some time and then stop for about 30 mins. If you have a leak the pressure built up in the radiator will force the antifreeze though the cracks and into the engine block. When you then start the engine, you should see white smoke. Mine leak was so bad that it smoked for like 5 mins.

If you are loosing antifreeze and can not see any wet spots on or around engine parts, then their is only one other place it can go...the engine.
