One of the most common causes is from a crack in the radiator. The radiator will usually leak antifreeze before the coolant hoses or hose connections begin leaking during the life of a car.
If you don't see evidence of a coolant leak on the exterior of the engine and cooling system or on the ground below the engine, the leak could be internal. This could be costly if allowed to continue. Have the system pressure tested and repaired asap.
Its a strong indication of a blown head gasket
( NO ) with the engine cool
yes.
Not if you want to keep driving the car!
if it is losing it thru the overflow pipe you need a new radiator cap
The type of car antifreeze that is safest to the environment is propylene glycol antifreeze. While it is still not totally safe, it is less toxic than other antifreeze.
If losing anti freeze but not visible leaking typically means bad head gasket. Antifreeze is leaking into combustion cylinder and therefore evaporating and going out exhaust pipe as steam.
My dad puts antifreeze on his car.
no but antifreeze in oil will eat the bearings
the brakeMoreAlso losing all transmission fluid will cause your car to stop while driving.So will crashing into something.
We always renew the antifreeze in our car before winter.
Your heater core has a hole in it. Antifreeze is leaking out and evaporating onto the cold windshield and glass areas.
