Loss of antifreeze in my 88 Dodge Raider?

Question

There is no leak, my garage floor is dry. I fill it up before I leave for work and after driving 70 miles round trip, and after it cools overnight it is about half a gallon low. Is there a chance that it could be pushing it out the over flow bottle? You can hear a bubbling sound after the truck has been turned off.

Answer 1

check your passenger side floor for coolant, and the glove box, if wet need a new heater core, or it could be the water pump, or head or intake gasket leaking, check the oil and make sure there aint no werid color to it. good luck.

Answer 3

i own a repair shop,and there's a real good chance it could be going out the over flow on it,one other possibility also, these ones was bad for blowing water jackets on the head gaskets and this would make them burn a small amount of anti freeze,i had one of those and i liked it a lot,it went really good in the snow,,check the coolant reservoir for a crack or bad place in it,if none of this helps you may want to have a pressure check done on it,this will find where it is going ,and its worth having it done to find out,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Answer 4

If the engine is running hot the water could be forced out the radiator cap. check the cap and make sure the engine is not getting too hot from a bad radiator..

Answer 5

sounds like you may have a cracked cyclender or blown head gasket pushing compression into the water jacket. and you may also be burning the antifreeze.

have a mechanic check for combustion in your antifreeze

Answer 6

There is a level mark denoting the fill height of your overflow bottle check this when you get home Also check if your thermoastat is opening .check you heater hoses and floor mats.

Answer 7

head gasket leaking from water jacket to the pistons and is sent out with the exhaust need to get it fixed sooner it will damage your engine
