Q: Coolant came out of the bottom of my van some were but today I put some water and it didn't leak.
Coolant leaked out of the bottom. It didn't overheat or anything but I still didn't drive it. The next day I put some water in the reservoir to see if it would come out. It did not come out and the van seems to be running fine. Why and were did it come out from and is that normal.
