What does it mean if your car is losing coolant but no leak?
However, you may breathe easy if the mechanic does not find any trace of exhaust gases in the coolant. It means that the liquid has not reached the engine yet. The radiator cap can deteriorate over time, letting antifreeze slip through when you are driving. A clogged radiator system could be a problem too as it blocks the flow of the liquid.
