Why is my car losing coolant?
Repeated coolant loss deserves inspection. Some leaks are visible while others appear only under pressure or operating temperature.
What it may indicate
- Coolant level repeatedly drops
- Drops or stains appear under the vehicle
- Sweet smell, steam or rising engine temperature
What to check
- Inspect visually with the engine cold
- Check hoses, connections, radiator and reservoir
- Pressure-test the system if the leak is not obvious
When to prioritize an inspection
Do not open a hot cooling system. If temperature rises or coolant drops rapidly, shut the engine down safely and seek assistance.
