Coolant leaking strangely

[KingLazy]

Sifus,Recently signal on check coolant level came out. Open the coolant reservoir and found coolant level almost empty. Called my mech who told me to fill it up with water and bleed. Did that. Check for the past 3 weeks and it's fine. No more leak and water level is ok? Any idea what could have cause the initial leak in the first place???Thanks.

Should be ok then, what did u do with the car before that?Got do anything with the cooling system?

 

[KingLazy]

Nothing at all. Fingers cross that nothing else will happen.

Do you use coolant first of all ??

if yes then it should be easier to determine the coolant leakage.

Use the torch light and check all the coolant hose joint.

u can check the coolant circuit hoses location at oem parts catalog

then you also can check on the engine core plug. there should be around 10pcs on the engine block and 2 pcs on the cylinder head.

hope this help.
