What should I do about a coolant leak in my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

I’ve noticed a small pool of coolant fluid under my Jeep the past few times I’ve parked. How serious is a coolant leak in a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Is this something I need to rush to a mechanic about?

Since coolant is vital in keeping your
Jeep
from overheating, you should take the situation seriously. What exactly you should do for your 2013
Jeep Grand Cherokee
coolant leak will depend on the size and severity of the leak.
Most coolant leaks in Cherokees occur because of loose hose connections, broken or punctured hoses, a broken radiator, or a failed water pump.
A mild leak that isn’t causing your engine to overheat and isn’t contaminating your motor oil reservoir, isn’t that urgent. You still need to fix it, but you have some time.
If you can find the leak and it is only an issue with one of the hoses, you may be able to patch it yourself. Otherwise, you should get the leak handled by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.
