The structural integrity of a radiator can be compromised, leading to coolant expulsion. This coolant loss is often attributable to several factors that weaken the radiator’s materials or its connecting points. The result is a decline in the cooling system’s efficiency and potential engine overheating.
Identifying the source of fluid escape is crucial for maintaining vehicle performance. Addressing these issues promptly prevents more significant engine damage, reduces the risk of roadside breakdowns, and ensures the longevity of the vehicle’s cooling system. Understanding the common reasons for these failures allows for preventative maintenance and cost savings.
