Why is my Jeep Liberty leaking coolant?
A radiator leak is very common. You should notice the leak directly under your Liberty’s radiator if you let it idle in the same spot for long enough. The puddle should not appear under the engine itself. If that’s the case, you may be looking at a bad hose, water pump, or thermostat housing.
What should I do if coolant is leaking from my Jeep?
Take the lower hose off of the valve to drain the remaining coolant into a bucket below your car’s hood. Once you take off the hose clamp, check to see if it is damaged. If your hose clamp is damaged, this could be the root of your coolant leak-issues. Find an auto-part or Jeep-repair shop near you and purchase a replacement hose clamp.
How can I tell if my car coolant is leaking?
If the refrigerant is leaking, it may fall on the radiator or hot engine and scorch, leaving a burnt mark that could reveal leaking coolant. Use Your Sense of Smell – If you smell a sweet and strange odor when your car is turned off, this could be a coolant leak.
Why does my coolant tank keep leaking water?
If you check your tank and the coolant is full, it could be that it’s leaking because it’s overflowing. The balance needs to be 50/50 water and antifreeze, so if it’s seeping over the reservoir tank, remove some of the coolant and add a small amount of water to thin it slightly.
