what's wrong with my car?
Michael Hamm 8 February 2005 00:24:45
	I drive a Ford Taurus L. Yesterday or two days ago, I turned the car off and walked away. When I came back a few minutes later, it was dripping green fluid from the near the front of the car. I shopped, and it did the same near the store. I'm pretty sure it hasn't done so since, but now there's another problem: Whenever I drive it, the temperature gauge goes up a bit higher than usual. It's still within the range marked "normal", but it's igher than it used to be. Anyone know what's wrong? (I figured something like this would likely be covered in a FAQ, but couldn't find a FAQ for the group.) Please followup so that Google can read your post, as I'm unsure my server carries these groups. Thanks! Michael Hamm AM, Math, Wash. U.

	Definetely a coolant leak that needs mechanical repair. Could be a split hose, broken connection, or failed seal. Do not try and fix the leak with can of Barrs or alumiseal, a drip like what your describing needs repair.

	If you have to ask this question, you won't be able to fix it , take it to a shop before you burn up the engine. There is no magic fix.

This is an old car that I don't want to put more money into. So two questions: (1) Is it possible there's really no problem? (After all, it hasn't leaked of late.) (2) Assuming (as I do) that there is a problem, is there any danger? -- or am I merely risking that the car will break down? Michael Hamm AM, Math, Wash. U.

If they overfilled the reservoir, the excess antifreeze will be forced out of the resservoir the first time you shut the car off after getting it good and hot. It might take a couple of driving cycles for all the excess to be forced out. However, once the level drops to the "full cold" line this should stop. Regards, Ed White
