Reasons / features

A. Coolant level keeps dropping slowly | Coolant enters the combustion chambers in very small quantities. This phenomenon without the presence of other signs can continue for a long time. Another Possibility: A Leaky Cooling System |
B. A plume trails behind the car at operating temperature white smoke, significant loss of coolant | Coolant enters the combustion chamber in a significant amount, evaporates there and exits through the exhaust system in the form of a white plume |
C. With the engine running, from the open expansion air bubbles rise in the reservoir or an increased amount of coolant is poured out when the burl locking cap is opened | Exhaust gases are pressed into the cooling system. Exhaust gas smells from the radiator opening |
D. The surface of the coolant overflows with all rainbow colors or painted black | Oil from the lubrication system enters the cooling system |
E. Gray or brown looking emulsion on dipstick removed to measure the oil level, or the oil is riddled with liquid bubbles | Coolant has entered the lubrication system. Attention: water in the engine oil can damage bearings. Replace head gasket immediately cylinders. Don't start the engine again! Send the car in for repair |
