Engine coolant is a liquid that circulates from engine to radiator
to maintain an operating temperature or reduce overheating of
engine.
There are common trouble spots
that need to be checked first before
visiting a service point ..
Under the vehicle or under
the hood area..
First in morning, check under the hood area for any
liquid on the ground…
Then check thoroughly under the hood for any
wetness near the hoses or reservoir or radiator ..
First look around and check whether any whitish
deposit or rust colored stain are there or not?
Replace the pressure cap :
Make sure to check with the mechanic if its
functioning properly or not? If found faulty,
replace it.
Check the hoses:-
If found problem in radiator hose, then
it’ll leave a sudden shower of steam on the
middle of road or any place while driving.
If you find the hose with the symptoms like
 soft and squishy
 bulging
 hard and brittle
 cracked or leaking
 marked whitish deposit etc…. Then make sure to change
it immediately
Internal leaking:-
Leaking water pump :-
One can replace it in the early stage rather waiting for the
complete break down.
But if the water pump is leaking, then make sure to
check whether it is
 leaking in front of timing belt or
 around the gasket….
If yet you didn’t find the source of leak, then make sure to
visit the service point and ask the mechanic to do a
pressure test to locate the place of leak..
