So today when I went under the hood to check fluids, I noticed there’s s puddle of coolant on the engine splash shield. I’ve attached a picture circled where the coolant was. I know I have a coolant leak since I have to add coolant. But does anyone know where the leak would be to cause coolant to end up on the splash shield? I started the car took it around the block then parked it to check if the leak was active. I didn’t see a leak onto the splash shield. So I parked the car and planned to on recheck it later today like perhaps it’s a leak that occurs when the car is off. Also it didn’t rain at all these couple days so I don’t think the water got in from outside.
Jack up the car, remove the 10mm screws that hold the sheild and have a Look. A Coolant " pressure Test" .. To Verify leaks is what needs to be Done here..
Look at the seams of the top expansion tank of tge radiator when the engine is hot. That's the first place which leaks when thr radiator needs to be replaced.
