How do you know if you overfill your antifreeze reservoir?
Once your vehicle is warmed up, if you have antifreeze coming out of the overflow you have too much in your radiator.
How much antifreeze should i put in my frontera 2.0 sport petrol?
A mixture of 1/2 distilled water 1/2 antifreeze to the full line of the radiator overflow container.
Where do you check the antifreeze in a 1990 Honda Accord Where do you put more?
I'm not sure about a Honda Accord, but all cars are pretty much the same. You can remove the radiator cap and add antifreeze, or you can look for the antifreeze "overflow reservoir". A piece of tubing from near the radiator cap should run to a plastic jug about the size of a gallon or two. It usually sits off to one side or the other under the hood. The side of the overflow reservoir may have a fill mark on it. The top should have a lid that is easily removed. That's probably the recommended place to add antifreeze.
Your 2001 jeep wrangler constantly needs antifreeze there are no signs of leaks and it doesnt smell hot until it needs to be filled up again Why is it using so much antifreeze?

Nothing. It will not hurt anything.
Does antifreeze go in the radiator of a 2000 Blazer?
That's usually a good place for it, as well as the overflow reservoir. It wouldn't do you much good to put it in the windshield washer reservoir, the oil pan, or the fuel tank, after all.
Why does air blow cold and not hot when heater is on and why wont the antifreeze go from reservoir to radiator?
That reservoir is an overflow reservoir and really doesn't serve well if large adjustments to fluid levels are required. It sounds very much like your radiator fluid is very low and the overflow reservoir is just not going to cut it. While the engine is cool, remove the actual radiator cap and add as much fluid as is needed, that way. After that keep an eye on the overflow reservoir and maintain the correct level in it. On another note, if you don't already know, try to figure out why your radiator is that low on fluid, it must be quite low for the heat to not work and it's unusual for a normally operating engine to lose that much fluid.
What would cause water poured into the radiator to pour from the intake hose?

What causes a 1998 cadillac deville to leak antifreeze through the overflow tube when parked and running only and not overheating?
A lot of heat is gonna build up when there is no air going through the radiator fins. This is one way that the cars vents some of this pressure. It is possible that it had too much coolant in it and the overflow tank filled up and pushed the rest out the overfrlow tube. It is normal for coolant to go back and forth between the overflow tank and the radiator. Just keep an eye on it and if it is not over heating then I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck.
Smell of antifreeze but radiator is full?
The smell of antifreeze is very strong and distinct, it does not take much of a leak to smell it. The radiator could still be full and have a small leak. I would check for antifreeze dripping onto the exhaust or on the engine block because when it is hot the smell is much more noticeable from the fumes.
Where do you put antifreeze in a 97 Nissan Altima?
PUT IT IN THE RADIATOR. MAKE SURE YOUR ENGINE IS COOL AND USE THE DRAIN COCKPIT LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR RADIATOR TO DRAIN ENOUGH OF THE FLUID TO ACCOUNT FOR HOW MUCH ANTIFREEZE YOU ARE ADDING.
