coolant leak help!!
Friday, May 19, 2006 6:45 AM
My car is leaking coolant pretty badly I have to add some every other day or so.I've taken it to two different dealerships and they said that they couldn't find a leak. It looks like its coming out of the overflow?The car will sometime run at 3/4 temp but most the time the temp is normal.Somebody please help!!!

I had this problem on my Cav a couple years ago. Turns out I had a tiny hole in the radiator, and it only leaked when the car was running because of the added pressure. So I had to yank the radiator out (pita), and took it to a dude that welded it.

Its leaking somewhere on the right side of the car.There's coolant in the engine compartment so I think it coming from somewhere up high.

Try squeezing one of the hoses rapidly, with gloves on, with the car at operating temperature but not RUNNING.

This sudden increase in pressure is sometimes enough to pinpoint a leak.

you might also want to (carefully) look for leaks while the car is running and at operating temp. just don't touch anything!
