HELPPP!!!!??? Engine Cooling Problem.

[PlayersExpress]

NEW PROBLEM!!!!!

Just finished doing your step by step to get the air bubble out. Had to add 2 gallons total... then went completely down.

I let the car sit in the garage for 30 min or so to eat dinner, came out and there was a puddle of coolant now on the garage floor about 12x20 inches.

The leak i can tell is running down the bumper of the passenger side. If you look under the car at the passenger side rear bumper cover you will see 2 screws holding the cover on.. and a silver liner on the inside of the bumper. The leak is flowing down between the bumper cover and the liner between the 2 screwes and its dripping from the 2 screws....

Where is the problem?? And how do I fix it without the stealership???

Adam,

take some pictures.. show me.. The overflow line for the car runs just above the right rear tire. If you overflow the coolant.. it drips from there.

Now.. it could be that your coolant expansion tank is broken. If broken, it leaks the coolant into the trunk and will typically find its way out the rubber grommet for the 02 sensors (depending on year of car)

Here are some pictures, see my last post as reference to the pictures and where the leak is coming from.

Also the rear trunk is dry, absolutely no coolant in the trunk.

kinda looks like a blown coolant bottle...Is there coolant in your trunk under the carpet and the foam?

Im pulling up the carpet as we speak, but i dont believe there is any coolant in the trunk and ... im going crazy here!

Nothing, nada.. just seems like a little bit of grease/lube? under the hard black matt beneath the carpet.

Is your car Tip or manual? There is a fuse that you need to pull while bleeding it if its tip.
