Luke4efc Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I'm not sure what you want us to say. You either have a coolant leak causing it to spill on the floor or you have a bad head gasket causing it to contaminate your oil and burnt in the combustion chamber.

StephenFord Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Also, if the drivers side carpet is wet, you may have a leak from the pipe that supplies the heater matrix - all sorts of potential problems for you to lose sleep over!

nicam49 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Or a leaking water pump. You can test for a head gasket by either getting a garage to do a pressure test, or a sniff test, or you can buy your own sniff test kit, which is some chemicals that change colour when they detect exhaust gases in the coolant.

stef123 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 You need to check or have a garage check the cooling system for leaks. There is nothing more right now I don’t think can be advised. Without someone physically looking anything here is just a stab in the dark I’m afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
