What Causes a Coolant Leak Under the Hood?

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner reported a coolant leak concern.

What we found and did

The technician started with an initial assessment at no charge to look into the coolant leak concern. The work performed included removing and replacing the radiator reserve tank, followed by a BG Complete Coolant System Flush, which used the BG machine to withdraw and flush out all fluids from the engine and radiator before refreshing with new fluid. Front and rear disc brake pads and rotors were also done on this visit, but the coolant work was the primary repair tied to the reported concern.

FAQ

Cooling System Repair in Winter Haven: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Winter Haven.

Can I just add coolant and keep driving?

You can get home that way. But coolant doesn't get used up the way oil does, so if the level dropped, it went somewhere. Topping off without finding the leak means you'll be doing it again, usually at a worse time and in a worse place.

Does running the AC make overheating worse?

It can. The AC condenser sits right in front of the radiator and adds heat exactly where the radiator is trying to shed it, and the compressor puts extra load on the engine. If your car only runs hot with the AC on in traffic, that's a real clue, and the fans are the first thing we test.

Will a coolant flush fix overheating?

Sometimes, if the coolant is old and contaminated and heat transfer has fallen off. More often overheating is a failed part, and a flush just delays finding it. We'd rather test first and tell you which situation you're in.

What kind of coolant does my car take?

It depends on the manufacturer, and the types aren't interchangeable. Mixing them can cause gelling and corrosion inside the system. We look up the specification for your vehicle rather than pouring in whatever says universal on the jug.

How do you know it isn't a head gasket?

There's a test for it. We check the coolant for combustion gases and watch how the system behaves under pressure. That gives a specific answer rather than a guess, and we'd rather rule it out early than have you find it after paying for other parts.
