That's great input. I just might have to try that!

@@yodersgarage But if we all like the video this should help also ;)

I own an Audi Q5, and they are notorious for coolant issues. Unfortunately that seems to be the norm these days.

I would avoid i4 in Audi. Known to explode.

That's basically what was happening to me at the beginning. What are the weather conditions when it leaks? Mine started when it was colder out at night (around 40 degrees). My guess is it's the pump shaft seal just like mine.

@@yodersgarage but car never gives me parking or over heating or Horan’s. Limp mode. Did your car went in limp mode or the secondary water pump is keeping it cool.

@@emperorsanders5744 It never overheated or went into limp mode, but that's probably because I kept a close eye on it.

There's a reasonable chance something (water pump, coolant talk, etc.) has a slight leak that only shows up once your driving. It would be good to take off the under-engine tray and look for any signs leaking, including dried fluid spots.

@@yodersgarage Thanks for your response! Lemme have closer look at the mentioned possible leaks then. I have been looking for answers on this topic ,and some of it ranges from broken seals, pipes or even coolant caps (which sounded less expensive) to coolant entering the engine and burning off, cracks in engine (which sounded too expensive) etc. Not sure what could be the problem in my case.

@@SS-kp2nr if you're burning coolant, you'll probably be able to smell it and/or see it in the exhaust, and you'll need a head gasket replacement if not more. Hopefully that's not it! Typically you'll be able to smell burning coolant soon after startup during the engine's initial warm up. My suggestion is to get an eye on the bottom of the water pump and see if there's even the slightest sign of a drip. Mine wasn't obvious at first, but when I was able to get a picture of the weep hole I knew that was at least part of the problem. Luckily coolant has a tendency to leave residue once it has dried, so you should be able to find traces if it's leaking anywhere.

@@yodersgarage That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

@@yodersgarageI think my 2019 x3 m40i is burning coolant I can smell it once it’s parked and I can see some blue stuff on the outside of the radiator hose it looks corroded…how you heard of this before?
