Leaking Coolant...

me2dumb4college · January 7th, 2012, 01:51 PM

So I went and got the pressure check and it came back that everything was fine; however, I'm still leaking coolant... does that mean I have a blown head gasket?

maybe your heater core? sweet antifreeze smells, leaking onto the right exhaust pipe below the firewall, foggy windshield would indicate thet, the leaking below the firewall could be a head gasket on the rear cylinder also. the other hints would tell you tho. i just did a heater core 2 months ago and the new core is leaking again.. pain in the ass

There's no anti-freeze/water in the oil... that's a good sign. They checked the block and said that was fine. So that doesn't sound like a head gasket.

My dad said maybe the water pump?

its possible. maybe a cracking intake manifold also. thats common. check the spark plugs for antifreeze. and look at the passenger side exhaust too. when the heater core let go on mine it leaked down on the midpipe and to the ground. keep looking youll find it

Every once in awhile coolant comes out of my radiator cap.
