I have a 1995 nissan maxima and the radiator leaks pretty fast but it has nothing underneath the car when i leave it overnight and also i have looked at it by starting the car and the visible pipes don't seem to have a leak also. Should i change the radiator?How i can i know where its leaking from?I dont think it is the cap but i am not sureHOw do i stop my radiator leak?I would try to replace the cap, you should do so every so often anyways and they are very inexpensive. They have a product called stop leak for radiators, if the cap does not work. You may have to replace the radiator if these things do not work. You can tear the car up pretty bad if it overheats really bad. It could also be your water pump or something else. Its worth looking into!Good luck!HOw do i stop my radiator leak?Try a can of black pepper or 2.Works the same as radiator stop leak but doesn't gum up the cooling system like stop leak.That works for small leaks in the radiator.But of course you need to locate the leak and get it fixed properly.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?i would say just replace it.....radiators are tricky, you cant, in my experience, ever fix it completely.....just slow it down for a while....HOw do i stop my radiator leak?Change your radiator cap.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?How do you know your radiator is leaking if you cant see any leak?
If you are losing water but its not coming out of the car could mean that you have a blown head gasket. where is the coolent going?
Or your heater coil is leaking. Do you have wet floor on pasenger side? strange smell in the car?HOw do i stop my radiator leak?uhh if the leak is visible and is in the little coils then u could just put some JB weld on it, its this epoxy thing they sell at all car part stores. if the leak isnt visible u can get this little pump with a gauge on it, where u take off the radiator cap and put the pump on there and u slowly start pumping it building up pressure in the radiator and if theres a crack or a leak youll be able to see it from the large spray of coolant coming from it, if your not willing to spend the 15 bucks on the pump, you can just take it to a shop and tell them to check for leaks. another thing is if you buy a new radiator itll run you about 200 bucks, you can get one at the junkyard for maybe 50-100 but if its minor, you can just use the JB weld i suggested earlierHOw do i stop my radiator leak?I dumped a tablespoon of black pepper in my car's radiator and it plugged the leak right up.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?You can put an egg in the radiator. Its a temp fix i saw it on myth busters.. So you know it worksHOw do i stop my radiator leak?have a pressure test conducted to your radiator, you will see the antifreeze spraying out, a local shop can do in 3 minHOw do i stop my radiator leak?You cant see coolant on your driveway.... or on the rad... it probrably isn't your rad. It could be that you are burning it... check for white smoke from the tail pipe... it could also be that its leaking down the rear of the engine due to a faulty head or intake gasket... check for foul smell under hood and in air vents.
don't know what else to tell ya untill you find that leak!HOw do i stop my radiator leak?Straight up. If I remember right, it could be a head gasket. It seeps through, and is being burned in the combustion chambers. DON'T spend money on a rad., you might not need one. Someone else should answer this and know. Good luck.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?well the leak maybe from aa krak in the pip thts not visible like a krak tht maybe in a line so wen it leaks u cant tell if its startin at the top or here so itll be best to change the radiator or pipes but first take its to a shop or findsumone or a place to lift it up and look at all the parts to see where exactly leeking and iff u cant fix it urself then bring it to a professional auto shop like auto zone pepboys and wat not and jus get them to repair it and tell em about ur problem cuz i dont think u wanna bring it to any small business shop where theyll jus fix it and be liek well u also need new such and such wen u dont jus to rip u off.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?Probably leaking through the headgasket into the engine,take it to someone who knows what they are doing,but don't change the rad it will not fix your problemHOw do i stop my radiator leak?BEFORE CHANGING THE RADIATOR TRY TABLE PEPPER AND NOTHING ELSE, IT SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE BUT IT WORKS.....DONT PUT NO RADIATOR STOP LEAK IN YOUR SYSTEM, FACTS ARE.......IT WILL PLUG YOUR COOLONG SYSTEM UP....ALSO FEEL YOUR IN AND OUT HEATER CORE HOSES TO FEEL IF THEY ARE HOT, IF SO THE WATER PUMP IS OK....HOPE THIS HELPED YA.....HOw do i stop my radiator leak?it sounds like you would be better off paying to have this one checked out,there could be more wrong with it than just a radiator,it could also have a leaky head gasket on it,either way i think if i was you id have it checked out to be sure,good luck with it.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?It's probably your waterpump. I just had the same problem.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?if there's no sign of water or antifreeze on your driveway, let me ask you this: is your car overheating?
if it is overheating, your radiator must be clogged, or your thermostat is not working, or your cap needs to be replaced.HOw do i stop my radiator leak?change it
