How to Detect Coolant Leak in Your BMW

The BMW's engine operates at a very high
temperature, however, the radiator and the rest
of the cooling system help in keeping it cool by
circulati9ng the coolant.
3
If your BMW develops a radiator leak or a
coolant leak somewhere in the system, then your
car is at a major risk of overheating which can
cause engine damage.

One of the most common sign of a coolant leak is
the engine's temperature gauge rising to the red
zone which is followed by the engine spewing
white steam.

Here are the ways to spot a coolant leak in your
BMW before it does further damage to your car.

Visible coolant leak
7
It goes without saying but the most obvious sign
of a radiator leak is a puddle of coolant on the
ground under your BMW.
8
The radiator fluid is very attractive to animals
due to its sweet smell but is very hazardous if
they are consumed and it is important to clean up
any puddles that are found.

The coolant leaks will directly collect under the
frontend of the BMW and is mostly a bright green
color but can also be pink or yellow.
10
Low coolant levels
11
From time to time be sure to check the coolant
level in your radiator, however, only do this
when the car has not been run for some time.
12
If you observe the coolant level is low, you must
immediately take your car to an automobile repair
shop to diagnose the issue.
13
However, if there is no leak visible there is a
good chance that the coolant is mixing with
gasoline and is being burnt up.
14
Radiator rust
15
If you notice any discoloration or rust on the
radiator or surrounding engine parts it could be
due to an antifreeze leak.
16
If the liquid lands on a hot engine part it will
boil and burn off taking the paint with it and
leaving behind a spot of discoloration which will
begin to rust.
17
Whenever you think that you have a coolant leak
or have already experienced overheating in your
BMW, you need to seek the assistance of a BMW
expert to look after the issue.

in your BMW which is vital for the smooth running
