Hey .. the other day i drove my car out and saw a small puddle of coolant.. what can i do to fix it... like can i patch it up? or do i have to replace it.. and can i drive with it leaking?

 

where is it leaking from???

 

Near the left side of the front

 

probably.............the lower radiator hose? Or maybe you have a hole in the actual radiator?.....get a pressure tester and pressurize the system to expose the leaks. Or you can get that coolant dye and put it in there, then get a black light(purple?) to find out the spray pattern.

 

did you install an intake recently? if so, it may be the bypass hose on the IM. I had a problem with a faulty screw clamp and was leaking a small amount of coolant. New clamp fixed it right away

Yeah, do that so that your dog or any other animal can accidentally drink it.

It's simple. Find out where it is leaking from. If you can't, take it to a shop and have them figure it out for you.

I would get under the car and see if you can see where it is leaking from. Put a piece of cardboard under the car to approximate where it is coming from. Shouldn't be hard.

 

hmmm...left side near the front you say? are you sure it is coolant? cause the AC is in that area and it drips water, which is normal, after you've used it. if it is coolant, and it is a hose i would say just replace it. but all the hoses are on the right side. maybe the radiator, which i would just patch up. radiators are also pretty cheap to replace if you want to though.

Hell yeah! Some JB Weld will clear that right up.

 

No, i did not install a intake recently, and its not A/C cuz the stuff is green..
