Recurring Coolant Leaks? Here's Why They're So Common

We’ve had another vehicle in the workshop this week with a serious coolant leak — and it's a good reminder that coolant issues are one of the most common problems we see at 1Stop Motor Shop Newtownabbey.

If you're in Newtownabbey or Belfast and notice puddles under your car, a rising temperature gauge, or the smell of antifreeze, act quickly. A leaking cooling system can cause:

  • Overheating

  • Blown head gaskets

  • Engine damage

  • Complete breakdowns

 

 

How to Spot a Coolant Leak Early

Look out for these signs:

  • Green, pink, or orange fluid under the front of your car

  • Temperature gauge creeping up

  • Dashboard coolant warning light

  • Sweet smell coming from the engine

  • Steam under the bonnet
