Antifreeze is leaking from the radiator? hit something, the honeycomb grill at the bottom pushed a small tube into what looks like the bottom of the radiator. Coolant is leaking. The tube looks like p

it means you have a leak could be hose or a hole in the radiator if you didnt hit any thing i would check hoses you can buy a tool that you use to add pressuer to the system and look to see where the leak is coming from

Hi Sharlene,so you smell antifreeze.Raise your hood and check your antifreeze over flow container,you should have a l and a h mark on it,high and low.If low,then it's leaking somewhere,look at the radiator cap and overflow hose for leak,look at over flow container for leak from hose going to it from radiator,look all over engine,look at top and bottom radiator hoses and clamps for leaks,if leaking there,tighten clamp with flat head screw driver,if no leak is found,get under vehicle and see if any antifreeze is visible,maybe water pump,look on ground for leak and follow,check floor board on driver side,heater core could be bad,check hoses going to heater core from engine firewall.

blown head gasket,check oil for water in oil,gray milky look,check antifreeze in radiator for color,check exhaust for white smoke or water-coolant if its going out exhaust gasket blown inbetween cylinders,see if pushing antifreeze out of radiator etc.check radiator for leaks pressure test it,cap on radiator bad?

THE ONE INCH HOSE CONNECT TO LOWER SIDE RADIATOR YOU HAVE ONE SMALL HOSE FROM SURGE TANK GOES TO TOP RADIATOR NEAR AC CONDENSOR.LOOK AT TOP RADIATOR YOU WILL SEE SMALL TUBE STICKING OUT OF RADIATOR FOR SMALL SURGE HOSE.THE OTHER SURGE HOSE CONNECT TO A SMALL METAL TUBE THAT SCREWS IN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING.

check the carpet under the heater core in the interior. Check the radiator overflow bottle--sometimes they get a small crack at the bottom and weep out coolant. Check for any heater hose or other coolant hose clamp to be weeping coolant onto hot exhaust parts. The coolant will evaporate and you'll never see a puddle. The best time to check is just after engine shut down when coolant temp and pressure is highest.

You didn't mention how many miles are on the vehicle but your symptom points to a water pump with failed seals. They don't often fail at less than 100K but they can.

There is a small hole at the bottom of the pump housing that allows coolant to leak out if the seals fail to prevent the coolant from ending up inside the engine and damaging it.

SMALL COOLANT HOSES ON RADIATOR OVERFLOW JUG LOCATION. BACK SMALL HOSE ON OVERFLOW JUG GOES TO THERMOSTAT HOUSING THE SMALL FRONT HOSE ON OVER FLOW JUG GOES TO RADIATOR.LOOK AT TOP RADIATOR ON PASSENGER SIDE YOU WILL SEE SMALL TUBE ON RADIATOR THATS WHERE OTHER SMALL HOSE GOES.

ask a dealer or a parts store ...

you have a small head gasket leak most likely and it can be tested with a 15 dollar tester from most parts stores. otherwise check the radiator pressure cap to see if it's cracked and see if the tube from the radiator tothe puke tank /overflow tank has a hole in it. also check that the fan is working correctly and that you have replaced the antifreeze, most antifreeze is only good for 2 years before it wears out. As well the water pump shaft could have broken and maybe slipping as the engine warms up, look to see if you see water comming out of the bottom of the water pump weap hole.

if it is your rad some rad weld will give you a temporary fix and tell you if the two things are connected. Rad weld is available from halfords or similar DIY car repair places.
