Thread: Coolant Leak

Its is I've lifted it at my house and checked, at the lifts at my works garage and couldnt find the source. Somewhere around the water pump and power steering. From the top view, I couldn't see anything. Hoses seem fine and all. So when pulling the dipstick, after the cars been running, it should look like what exactly?

Just oil. It's okay if there are tiny bubbles if it was just running, but it has to be the same color as oil.


The level won't be accurate until it's sat for at least 10 minutes after being fully warmed up. If it's sat overnight and not started yet, that's the best time to check it.
