Antifreeze Leaking from My Car
A smoking engine is a very noticeable sign that something is wrong with your car, truck, van or SUV engine’s cooling system. Another common sign something is wrong with your engine cooling system is a coolant leak.
A good way to tell if your car is leaking coolant is to look under your vehicle for any colored puddles or a trail of drops on the garage floor or driveway. Coolant, or antifreeze, can be red, pink, blue, green, orange or yellow.
Antifreeze leaks can occur due to physical damage to your system, like when rocks or debris from the road jump up and pierce a hose. Sometimes, hoses can become old and warn out, then they can spring an external coolant leak.
