I'm picking up a Taurus with a major coolant loss as in can't drive it and dousing coolant but not sure where. Just wondering what to look for? Are there common leak points?

Do these crack heads? I think it is the Vulcan engine.

Could be a number of things causing that. If it's losing it as fast as it sounds maybe a simple radiator hose. Let us know what you find out!

What you can try to do is lay some newspapers, or towels underneath the car overnight. Then check to see if there are stains or drips coming from anywhere. If that doesn't work, try running the motor for a while then stop.

I'd check the hoses and the radiator for cracks.

If you still cant see anything, it could be a blow head gasket.

Well I bought the car last night. See my other thread. So far The only leak I see is the coolant reservoir cap. Not sure why there.

But the leak isn't bad at all as the shop who worked on it had me thinking. This thread is continued on my new thread.
