Is it radiator hose or water pump?

[PamelaAsistio]

Hello tsikoteers, need your advices again. Lately mabilis umakyat ang temp ng car po namin at halos umaabot sa H level. Pag ganito po ang nangyayari, we dont have any options but to pull over to let the engine cool down. Ang napapansin ko lang po, hinde napupuno ang radiator kahit pa 2 liters ang ilagay kong tubig, then I noticed na may parang tumutulong patak patak na tubig sa ilalim.

Ano po ba ang problema pag natutuyuan ng tubig ang radiator pero hinde naman po nagbabawas ang reserve...hose lang po ba or pump na?

Thank you

May leak ang water cooling system ng kotse mo. Avoid na mag overheat ang engine. Nasisira or lumulutong mga rubber oil at valve seals at piston rings.. Magkaroon basang oil sa spark plug at mapapasubo ka magpa Top Overhaul. Malaking gastos masiraan ng engine.

Pa check mo kaagad sa mechanic. The best way ma-trace yun leak na iyan ay dapat paandarin ang engine at pag umabot na umandar na radiator fan ay check mo na mga rubber hose clamp, radiator. Kahit pawis lang makita mo na leak ay malakas tumulo niyan pag umaandar ang engine.

Easy enough to trace leaks when engine is stationary. Your situation doesn't seem too much for a mystery.

Be mindful of where the leak originates and where it actually drips.

There are times when the fluid originates from somewhere else and just drips where capillary action gives way. You may end up replacing the wrong part.

what car do you have?
i have a sentra, and it's so difficult to trouble-shoot leaks from that engine! nakatago ang mga importanteng bagay!
if you are losing water but the overflow reservoir doesn't seem to be losing liquid, then you have a leak. mebbe the hose, mebbe the radiator, mebbe the engine block/head. maybe it's just an old radiator cover whose rubber seal has cracked.
you poured in two liters and still your radiator didn't overflow? that means, you probably had a dry engine block...
yung patak-patak... hindi kaya tubig lang yon na natatapon habang nilalagyan mo ang radiator?
good luck.

Easier to detect leaks with the engine off.
