Q: There is air escaping from the front radiator grille on my Chevy Cruze. It started when I shut off the engine and lasted about ten minutes.

asked by on January 16, 2017

When I stopped my car I noticed that there was air escaping. It appears to be coming from the radiator as there was a small amount of coolant on the grille. It stopped after about ten minutes

My car has 90000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
