What's going on when steam comes out from under your vehicle hood.
You were headed home from the Merry Merchants Holiday Market when you smelled a sweet odor and steam started coming out from under your car hood. You were lucky because you got your car to the side of the road and were able to get it fixed by replacing the radiator cap.
Coolant leaks are bad news. They can happen anywhere in the system and they are difficult to fix.
Loss of coolant is the third most common cause of roadside breakdowns, AAA says. And, if your car springs a leak, it can quickly overheat. So, the driver needs to cut off the car or risk major damage to the head gasket, pistons or cylinders.
External leaks leave puddles on the ground under the car. While internal leaks will cause the coolant level in the reservoir to gradually go down. White smoke in the exhaust is often a sign that the engine is passing coolant through the combustion chamber.
Coolant that gets into the crankcase will contaminate the oil and can ruin the bearings. Coolant passing through the combustion chamber also can foul spark plugs, oxygen sensors and the catalytic converter, tirereview.com says.
