Ok so I'm just starting to learn about my car. I was never really into fixing it myself until recently and I know very little about cars. My car is leaking antifreeze somewhere, and I can't find it. i have jacked the car up and let it run to find absolutely nothing. at the rate it is disappearing, i should have a swimming pool underneath my car after 5minutes but i can't find a leak anywhere. the radiator is brand new, i checked every single hose, no leaks or cracks, and they all have tight seals. I checked the oil because i'm told it will look like nasty coffee if the head is blown and the antifreeze and water is leaking into the oil. It just looks like regular oil. Does anyone have an idea where my water is going?

 

are you using antifreeze or water? cause in ur question/statement you say antifreeze and water but if your using water it'll burn faster than the antifreeze..
does your temp gauge sit in high? or how do you know its losing fluid?

 

50/50 solution. I know it's losing coolant because the radiator is always empty. I know water will evaporate quicker, but not this quick. I drive about 15 miles and almost my whole radiator is empty. No idea where it could going.

 

how many hoses did you check?

^^^ I had a blown HG and my oil looked fine, but the coolant resevoir had a black film on it. It turns out the HG had a small crack after all. I was losing coolant at an alarming rate also. If you can not find the leak I would maybe run a compression check.

 

man antifreeze is coming into my interior and maybe its my heater core? help please.


check around the timing belt, water pump whatsever. a friend of mine was leaking coolant around from there. his was a d16
