Steam coming from around my radiator in a Nissan largo?
you have a leak in a hose or your radiator itself. Look for antifreeze dripping from under car while engine is running and hot enough for the fan to kick on.
Should the car be cold or Hot to Check antifreeze?
cold. If you open the radiator when the car is hot, it can spray all over the place.
Why would my antifreeze become low causing my lightto come on after it has been filled two days ago?
There must be a leak somewhere; check the radiator and the hoses for signs of antifreeze leaking out. If the car has been running for a while, look for any signs of steam rising up from the engine area, this may be your leak. Careful not to get burned touching any hot parts.
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.
What happens when you overfill car with antifreeze?
I don't think you can actually overfill a car with antifreeze. There is an overflow chamber that prevents this. Perhaps this overflow can be overfilled but in that case the worst thing that can happen is the little plastic cover pops off and you get some excess antifreeze on the ground. It might also depend on the car. when car gets hot it will push coolant to reservoir (expansion) and when cold, into radiator. this is the function of the rad. cap....if u overfill reservoir it will only leak out of fill cap to the grd
Why is the Antifreeze level high when car is hot but when car is cool down there is no antifreeze?
Coolant will expand as it heats - that's the purpose of the coolant recovery tank - to take excess when vehicle is hot and return it to the radiator when vehicle cools
