Despite the name, engine coolant does more than keeping your engine cool. It also prevents corrosion in vital engine components and contains anti-freeze to prevent your engine from freezing in the winter. Even a small leak in your cooling system could seriously damage the engine. If coolant leaks into the combustion chamber of the engine, your engine could seize, leaving you stranded.

A coolant leak can be caused by many things, including loose hose clamps, old hoses, age, or even road debris damaging the cooling system.
There are many different causes of coolant leaks, ranging from minor issues to major engine problems. By fixing the minor problems when they come up, you can prevent major problems later.
Damaged coolant reservoir. Your vehicle’s cooling system is a high-pressure system. As the rubber in the radiator cap ages, the pressure can eventually push coolant out.
Damaged coolant reservoir. The coolant reservoir supplies and holds extra engine coolant. As the coolant flows through the engine and the radiator, it ends up in the reservoir again. Because most reservoirs are plastic, engine heat can crack the plastic and cause leaks.
Radiator Corrosion. A car’s radiator is exposed to the elements. Over time the metal in the radiator can start to rust. Eventually, the rust leads to small holes in the radiator, which allows coolant to escape. Periodic coolant flushes help keep corrosion from happening, but sooner or later, a radiator will wear out and need replacement.
Blown head gaskets. A head gasket is a seal between the cylinder heads and the engine block. Overheating and age can cause head gaskets to bend or crack and begin leaking. This can cause coolant to leak out of the engine, or even worse, into parts of the engine where it shouldn’t be. A head gasket replacement can be very costly and can be avoided with proper preventive maintenance.
By having coolant leaks fixed, your car won’t run out of anti-freeze in the winter and have better corrosion protection from the elements.
It takes time to diagnose where the coolant leaks from and how to fix the coolant leak. Minor repairs like replacing hoses or clamps can take an hour or less. Larger repairs like replacing a radiator or coolant reservoir will take 3-4 hours. Major repairs such as a head gasket replacement can take a day or more, so it’s best to deal with small leaks before they become major headaches later.
