    I loved all of 1A How-to videos. I detected a coolant leak from my Nissan 2001 xtera SUV. I saw a lot of steam smoke ( vapor) came out of the back engine around the oil filter and back if top engine block. I was unable to pin point exactly where the leak actually came from since I do not know the coolant system component arrangement on my Nissan.
    Think you can help sharing some video tips ?

    My car is at the mechanics right now.
    Before it was dropped off I got under the car and recorded with my phone the leak, coolent is dripping about every 2 second to 5 second onto the ground.
    It first drops down ftom the water pump area and then onto a hose close to the front of the vehicle then drops to the ground.
    I have to fill the reservoir up to the line every day about a cup.
    On my phone when I press record to record the video my flashlight comes on really bright so I can really get a good look under the car to see where the drip was coming from.
    I followed it up to the water pump.
    The mechanic is saying its the radiator?
    So, how can it be the radiator leaking when on my video I can clearly see it dripping from the water pump area.
    The radiator look dry.
    Any thoughs?
    Car is at the mechanics now.

    I have a 2006 Saab 97X 4.2 a.k.a. Chevy trailblazer and there’s coolant leaking from behind the power steering pump near the engine. When I say behind, I mean, if you’re looking at the power steering pump from the passenger side tire. The water pump was done recently and VIP auto said that it wasn’t the water pump. They claimed that it was the transmission cooler lines but these all seem fine.

    I'm at wit's end here. 2011 Cadillac SRX 3.0 was throwing P0430 & P0420 codes and started running hot, so had the 2 cats replaced. On the way home from the muffler shop, it started overheating and broke down. Towed home. Filled reservoir 1/2 way with coolant and immediately coolant was all over the driveway and 10 minutes later the reservoir was empty. While this was happening, the combustion leak test was performed and the blue liquid did not change colors. Now, the vehicle is not running hot, not throwing any codes, and the reservoir is empty. I'm afraid to drive it. How do I get the gremlins out of the coolant system?

    Don't know where the coolant is going , no leaks on bottom area.
    Is there only 1 pump in coolant movement or any other ?. No leaks so far on pipes or on the hoses. Seriously it's getting my mind worse as I cannot find the reason for low coolant. Any help will be appreciated

    Can you do a video on how to replace an egr valve on a 2007 mazda 6 I. I recently took mime off the car to clean it but I think I may have cracked the gasket. It's leaking radiator fluid from the bottom of it.

    You failed to mention the possibility of the water pump leaking because it needs replacement

    Hi there 1A Auto, I was wondering if you have time maybe to help with an issue I am having. I am running in to an issue with a 2005 Toyota Camry V8 check engine light (only 52,000 miles on my dashboard so the car is not driven a bunch over the years). The last 2 years like clockwork a year apart i get the check engine. The first time I brought it to a show I was told to go to. They said after checking with their computer I have a faulty knock sensor. So I said okay lets do what needs to be done. They charged me $700 at the time in 2020. They said when taking apart the parts they found coolant in different parts of the engine bay (i do not know car stuff I am pretty sure that is what he said). This part of the problem is how I found your video here. I am wondering too what could cause the coolant leak. They replace the sensor and a few days later the check engine light returns. Same codes on their test so they replace the sensors again (for free). A year goes by and then just before inspection time Check engine again. Go to the shop... same code. Now they do the replacement again and charge me $300 just for parts they say (do not know if that is a reasonable price). It is now a year since then and once again I have a check engine light. Also I should say my coolant is about an inch lower than it was a year ago. Just trying to ask anyone and everyone for information. It is such a hard thing to find a mechanic in NY and since I am not knowledgeable (but trying to learn) it makes this soo much harder... especially in NY.

    My Chevy Colorado started to leak coolant yesterday so I went to check it out I noticed the leak was running down from the engine not any hoses or clamps. So my truck has the big engine fan and it connects directly into the engine and that’s where the leak is coming from,what could this be what should I do does the engine have to be removed. 2007 Chevy colorado
