Signs of Radiator Problems

Your car’s radiator is the main component of its cooling system. It circulates coolant through the engine to regulate the temperature and prevent your engine from overheating. Therefore, if your engine is overheating, that can be a sign of radiator problems. You may also notice that your car is leaking coolant, which will appear in a green, orange, pink, or blue puddle under the car. If too much coolant leaks out, your car won’t be able to function, and your engine may end up severely damaged. All of these can be signs of failure for any aspect of your car’s cooling system, but none of these signs should be ignored. Whether you’re having issues with your radiator or any other system parts (including the water pump, cooling fan, heater core, or thermostat), it can lead to worse problems down the line, so it’s important to get the situation checked out by a professional.

Causes of Problems with the Radiator

Your car’s radiator can fail for any number of reasons, but over the years, we’ve noticed three different factors come out on top as the most common reasons your car’s radiator will fail. One cause is perforation, which usually happens when road debris is launched at your radiator and causes a leak. If the coolant in your car has the wrong concentration of additive, or if there’s no additive in it at all, that can lead to corrosion, which will usually start at the places where the plastic reservoirs are attached to the aluminum core of the engine. Suppose the pieces used to mount the radiator are damaged, broken, or worn out. In that case, it can lead your radiator to vibrate more than usual, which can cause leaks between the plastic reservoirs and the aluminum core we mentioned previously. Unfortunately, the only solution to any of these problems is to replace the radiator completely.
