Low Engine Coolant Problem :(

redrider07 · 05-19-2007, 02:10 PM

Ok, so for a while now my low engine coolant light comes on..sometimes it stays on for a while then goes off. I checked the coolant tank...it was low..but I saw no leaks. First off, I replaced the cap..thinking that might help....did not. It is already low again since I filled it up...COULD BE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET

I think the coolant could be going into the engine!

So, I need to jack the car up...check all the hoses...and hopefully find a leak..ELSE COULD BE THE BLOWN HEAD GASKET...SUCKS

Mine goes on/off all the time too. As Twisted said, I don't give a shit anymore.

I replaced the coolent level sensor. Bought it for ten bucks at oreillys, its fine now but still i think i do have a lilttle water leak. Hopefully its just a loose bolt.

If your loosing alot of coolent but there is no visibe leak its probably a head gasket.

GAH no way!? I have a leak i cant find, and its not a terrible leak but its still leaves a basketball sizes spot under that car over night. Ugh are you serious?

yeah, check for LIM gasket failure.. Check for wetspots on the block. Check the oil, make sure it doesn't look like a milkshake.

If all clear, put some more coolant in and turn that frown upside down.
