95 passport- how many places could coolant be leaking from? what
possible damage? at 25-30mph, gauge went to 'hot', in 3 mins, pulled in to station. refill tank was down to 1 cm of liq w/sediment. refilled /topped off w/ fresh 50-50. parking stain on pavement was dinner plate size, 4 hours later. stain was centered, and slightly in front of front tire axle. cc replies to me at mensabrains [at] webtv [dot] net |
Re: coolant leaking
It could be in many place. Start with radiator, move to hoses, and last
check engine parts. Refill it, put something on the bottom of the car, and try to note the location it's dripping from. It won't take too long to notice if it's going out that fast. If it's a hose, it's an easy fix. Tape the hose somehow until you get to the shop to get a new replacement hose. If it's a radiator and it needs replacement, might cost you anywhere from $150 to $300, depending on where you purchase it. Might even run you for more at some places. It could be the head leaking in which case there's a lot of damage done to the engine and might need to replace the whole engine. --Viktor "flawed jai" <mensabrains@webtv.net> wrote in message news:9804-403075CF-272@storefull-3191.bay.webtv.net... > 95 passport- how many places could coolant be leaking from? what > possible damage? at 25-30mph, gauge went to 'hot', in 3 mins, pulled in > to station. refill tank was down to 1 cm of liq w/sediment. refilled > /topped off w/ fresh 50-50. > parking stain on pavement was dinner plate size, 4 hours later. > stain was centered, and slightly in front of front tire axle. > > cc replies to me at > mensabrains [at] webtv [dot] net > |
