Coolant is a fluid that runs through your engine and keeps it at the appropriate operating temperature. If there’s a coolant leak, your engine can overheat. Overheating can seriously damage your engine and be dangerous to drive on.
There are many possible components that are causing a coolant leak. You’ll need to find the source of your leak and then replace the defective part. A few common culprits include a blown radiator nose, a broken hose clamp, a warped gasket, or a crack in the radiator itself.
