Great well explained, fantastic camera clarity and I'm very happy it was the hose and that you didn't have to use the sealant additive!

Been having constant coolant leaks in my jeep. Leaking in the floor of the passenger side. I never knew where the moisture was coming from. Thanks for solving the mystery.

such a good and detailed video, you just covered everything. very easy to follow and understand, thank you !!

Adding water as a temporary solution is great. Thx.

My next step is UV dye. Add tp radiator, drive then use blue light and check for leaks. Also pull spark plugs and look for leak with black light. Another option do pressure test, pull spark plugs and look for leak with boroscope. So far, block test, pressure test and leak down tests negative. Disappearing coolant, no visible leaks.

Thank you for your video. Very helpful for us non mechanics.🙂

Thank you great video have a GMC pickup which seems to be losing coolant somewhere no visible leaks you gave me a lot to check thank you very much I am now subscribed

Thanks for the video, very helpful and informative.

Thank you for showing all the tricks, including the checks that were a dead-end. This really helps for diagnosing stuff on one's own.

Very detailed and thorough.

This video is very informative, well done. thank you!

I'm so glad it was just the radiator hose good video.

Just had my 2018 Jeep Compass in the shop turns out the problem is the radio frequency hub keeping it from cranking and they found the radiator very low. I'm not a mechanic of course but they said they couldn't find a leak so here I am trying to figure out why it happened. I shouldn't have to do their job but at least I have something to go on. Thanks for the great video.

Great vid... very informative. I'm not a car person... but it gave me a few ideas what's going on with my truck. Thanks

Extremely helpful videos. Thanks!

Thank you explaining so well.

Informative video. I have a radiator leak in my 2022 Jeep compass. I wish my dealer would explain to me the way you did.

This video helped me determined my coolant leak. Thanks

Thanks ,I will try your remedies.

Interesting and informative ......I often wonder if this could be my cars issue. It actually had a hg job done inc turbo lifters rockers cams almost full top end . Inc pressure test on head and skimmed..overheating coolant spraying from overflow . Been in garage 4 a while as they done the work. If I look at it it'll prob void the work carried out ..I have here a dye that works brilliantly with uv torch..used it to find my keak on previous car (thermostat housing gasket ) . Cost me £7 to fix..its 1 of the first things od be doing amongst flushing system a few times at least ..in case it's gunk that's causing it .

Thank you for the information, well explained.

Great tips!!!

Thanks for making this informative video!

Great Video !!!

Couldn't you just remove radiator cap with engine idling and look for bubbles. Little bubbles, head gasket trouble. No bubbles, no trouble. Great video!

Appreciate the advice thank you

Awesome video. My car is suffering from overheating. The local shop did testing for me but they told me no critical issue was found. The only thing they can do is just replace the thermostat for me for $500. That was two weeks ago, and I got overheating today again.

You was Great best I've listened to

You are the real deal 💯

This was Excellent!

Great video

Useful 💯 %

Great job

I am having the same problem. Thanks. 👍👍

i am having a similar issue what would happen if the hose was left as it is and we keep topping up coolant? for a while?. till now i have filled 2, 4 liter cans of red coolant. regarding the head gasket sealer how do u use it? also i have having some strong smell coming from the exhaust. and engine oil and trans fluid are ok, but engine oil smell burnt. i have Toyota XA 2007 , 1NZ engine.

Good stuff. My aunty has a mint car in volcano thats been sitting in garage unused for 3 yrs, wont start now. Can i pay u to come look? Thx

Thanks man.

Thank you!

My roommate's husband is a retired mechanic. He pressure-tested the reservoir and coolant was shooting out the thermostat housing. The car is going to my regular mechanic tomorrow morning.

Great video. I have a problem with a jetta tdi. It has over pressure in coolant system. It keeps pushing coolant out of the reservoir tank. I think it's a blown head gasket but not coolant in oil or vice-versa. Since it's a diesel engine there are not spark plugs. How can I do the compression test.? Thanks

Thank you 🙂

i see on the rotors when it rains in the morning looks like a spot brown in it what is it mean?

Hello I have problem with my ford fiesta 1.4 2004 it has too much pressure on coolant it burst hose pipes and coolant tank or bottle 😢can any thing help

I have 1997 Mitsubishi Pajero. It was imported from Japan. Is that pump compatible with Japanese models?

Very good. Ty

Thank You.

😢great watch yes comment hose leak has a kink inside so it runs to there and spills out , watching veiws have all the test station for now kink is the hose damp its a hole 🕳️ but great way to get the latest

Hello, just found your video. I have an 08 Chrysler Pacifica Limited AWD 4.0. And it also has a coolant leak, but it does not overheat. I've changes the upper radiator hose and the thermostat. I've done a pressure test on it, nothing. Oil and fluids all look good. I do have to keep adding coolant just about everytime I drive it, which is daily. The water pump is fine. Just had the AC compressor installed also. Any suggestions are welcomed 🤗. Thank you

Thanks I think it’s happen to me

Hi, I had a heating problem after the heating hose that goes into the dashboard of my kia sorento 2015. I replaced the hose, but now I notice the coolant level in the reservoir gets too low in the morning and gets flooded after a 10 mile drive. I replaced the radiator cap , and the problem is not solved! What else should I check؟

talented

Your conclusion that you have a small head gasket leak based on the fact you had not yet found a leak yet was erroneous as soon as I heard it.

+1 and a like good video.

What would cause the water to leak from under the driver side back door

I also had a coolant leak and the problem was the Filler neck... My car is still overheating even though I have changed the Thermostat and Water pump before

How do you use that pressure checker if you don’t have a radiator cap. I just have a water reservoir.

Great

My Škoda car makes water running noise in dashboard on start of the engine for 4-5 seconds and normal thereafter Any remedy for it, if yes, please share a video of the same

Thanks

Can you fix my headgasket on my GTR?

Hello there I am having an issue with my 2008 Hyundai Tiburon the oil light comes on and off when I idle up to a thousand RPMs it goes off but as soon as I release its come back on do you know what the issue might be?

I just replaced my evaporator coil and after 20 days, the aircond is blowing hot air and engine started overheat. Sent to the service center, after a week plus, steam started coming out from the instrument panel and from tge steering. Pop up the bonnet, saw blue liquid spilled at the evaporator, touch it and it is wet, and I can hear the hissing sound clearly. What can cause it? Please help and advise. Thank you

What do I do if it is the plastic top of the radiator leaking? 2008 Nissan Tiida/Versa.

What brand leak tester was that you used?

👍

I have a 2011 Ford Edge 3.5L the check engine light came on thursday night. i drove the car friday morning about 40 miles. came home for a few hours. headed back out and was on the highway for about 10 minutes when my overheating warning came on, smoke coming from under the hood and i immediately pulled over and turned the car off. i let the car cool for about 15 minutes and poured 4 bottles of water in and the reservoir was still empty! someone brought me a whole bottle of coolant and poured it in and the reservoir was still empty (obviously we assumed a leak) but i was going to head to my destination about 10 miles away. drove off and about 3/4 of a mile the overheating warning came again and i pulled over. I ended up having the car towed to my house. This is my question - whats the likelihood that the engine got damaged to the point of replacing it? Is replacing it a given or is there a chance i can flush the oil and locate and repair the leak?

Cool, but what about your low compression test?

Weird problem: 2012 Prius, 145k miles. Oil changed religiously @ 10K, 0W20 full synthetic. Never driven at low coolant levels. Sudden loss of coolant on the highway. The temp warning indicator on dashboard flashes and goes of. When you check under the hood, there is a splash of coolant from overflow tank (it is pressurized). Hot June, Florida, driving at noon 200 miles: no problem. on the way back at night, stopped at every rest area to add DI water, . The plastic overflow tank never ran dry. Engine runs smooth, accelerates, purrs like a cat. No white water vapors in the exhaust. Looked for pink residue around connections and radiator seal lines. No residue found. Rubber hoses are tightened with original spring clamps, but no pink leak. Electric water pump is clean. There is pink residue at the back of the plastic overflow tank. Every time the temp warning flashes, there is a splash of boiling coolant tru the overflow tank onto the firewall and even the drive shaft. Sometimes the leak is so big, that it ends up on the front passenger tire and the front passenger door. How does it go from inside to the OUTSIDE the vehicle is a mystery. No check engine, no DTC. The high temperature light comes on and off, sometimes flashing, sometimes solid, then disappears. Driving around town seems OK so far. Pressure test: at 12 psi stays unchanged forever. Exhaust fumes test: negative. Changed the water pump the thermostat, then the temp sensor. No luck. Sporadic unpredictable random short overheating. Smn just suggested there may be an airlock. Planning to apply some vacuum these days... I hope is not head gasket. Although smn suggested that this is how head gaskets on these cars begin. Any other suggestion?

❤👍

A dye would have helped in the beginning, I think.

So was it the hose?

After running my car there's always a strong sweet smell.

Good way to burn the starter up

Have the same issue, replaced radiator hose, and coolant reservoir. And the coolant level drops after driving it. Also when i start the car it shivers but smoothes out after a few seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions?2018Jeep compass latitude

what store loans you all the tools for free?

Don’t ever use the blue devil sealer. It ruined a new radiator and plugged up the hose and thermostat.

So much fail. Not checking the hose connections and thermostat housing before jumping to the conclusion of a head gasket was dumb, especially when there were no signs of a head gasket leak. Spark plug color is more likely to show a small head gasket leak than a compression test. A much easier way to check would be to use a block tester. Small 'hidden' leaks that don't drip onto the ground are most often cold leaks so in the rare case that I can't find the source I start the pressure test with the engine cold. The fact that it went low while parked for a long time is an obvious indication that it had a cold leak, duh. I've gotten many free/cheap cars because of bad diagnosis like this so it's been good for me, but terrible for their customers.
