Coolant leaks can be a pain - they’re elusive and have a lot of damage potential. Fortunately, at Pressurized Performance and Off-Road in Texarkana, AR, our technicians know exactly how to diagnose and repair a coolant leak, no matter where it is. Knowing more about where these coolant leaks appear and why they're a problem will help you to recognize a problem and get it repaired before it does further damage.

Where do coolant leaks appear? A coolant leak can appear anywhere coolant is present, essentially. More than likely, leaks will spring up as a result of damaged or degraded rubber hoses. These hoses are subjected to a lot of heat, time, and wear, and eventually, it takes their toll. Particularly around hose clamps and in bends, leaks will arise.

Why are they a problem? Coolant leaks are a big deal. Coolant is under pressure, so once it begins leaking, it can leak out fast - in a matter of minutes, your vehicle will begin to overheat. In the best-case scenario, you’ll find yourself stranded, and worst case it’ll cost you an engine.

What makes it difficult to diagnose? Sometimes leaks are obvious, sometimes it takes a trained professional to locate and repair one. Often, there are small hoses routed underneath major engine components that are impossible to see when they fail. It just takes a pinhole to become a major leak when the system heats up and becomes pressurized, meaning it won’t leak cold making it even harder to find. A technician with the right tools and knowledge will sometimes even use UV dye or other methods to track down a leak. If you’re leaking coolant, keep a very close eye on your fluid level and engine temperature, and have it fixed immediately.
