Can i still drive my car if its leaking if i keep filling up the antifreeze??

Its leaking prettybad and sparying some on to the top of the engine bay...

 

i wouldn't drive with it if i were you, you can mess something up big time, like have antifreeze get in your engine and mix in with your oil, which can cause more damage. Its pretty cheap and very easy to change. you can do it yourself. GL

 

NO

 

narr.the way you make the leak sound, i wouldnt do it. Go to a junk yard, craigslist, ebay or the org and look for a working radiator and change it.

 

If you feel confident in it, why not?

I had a crack in the upper header on my radiator for about a year (before I recently replaced it), still drove my car everywhere. Lost about a gallon of coolant a day, overheated the **** out of it many many times (to the point of it stalling)...hell, I drove to TN and back, most of the way with extremely low coolant levels (if it had any). Still runs like a champ.

I'm beginning to think that the VQ30 is indestructible.

 

Well i'd try to figure out where it is leaking. If you havent replaced it before then it might be the radiator. Try checking the hoses and their clamps. I had a leaky radiator right after i got it replaced and it turned out to be that one of my clamps was broken. I've risked it and drove on a leaky radiator, just kept refilling the coolant reservoir.

 

you gotta be crazy to think its ok to drive this thing if its leaking that bad. look up radiator repair in the yellow pages and take it in asap!!! they will do a pressure test and locate where its leaking, and buy a new radiator please, you don't need someone else's headache.

 

IMo, no way jose.

 

where is your crack at? depends on the location you might be able to temporary fix it so you can get around to get a new radiator ftw.

 

Just keep driving it - you'll be in the market for a VQ35 sooner this way

 

I would not drive on a bad radiator, unless I had 10-12 bottles of coolant sitting in the trunk and watch them go down by the hour. Don't forget to carry a mask that covers your nose because It will stink......

 

i love it when i pulled to a stop light (sexy *** girls next to me) and smoke starts bellowing out the front of the engine bay, all you can smell is antifreeze. I still drove off, getting stuck for 45 min for my car too cool down cause it overheated!! NOW that my friends is priceless!!!!! depending on the whereabouts of the crack you can do what i did for 3 months and just try to pimp the shi* out of it, or get a new one and just fix the problem......either way......you will get tired of the hassle sooner or later but GL it only takes bout 5 min to change it out!!!!!!
