Q: How much does it cost to repair my antifreeze leak
My antifreeze is leaking from under my Car what could be the problem
My car has an automatic transmission.
Anytime you see a coolant leak under the vehicle you know you have a leak but the location is not known. You will need to have the cooling system pressure tested to see where the leak is coming from. It is very common for the intake thermostat housing to leak on this engine. A pressure test will verify the leak. You may need to replace the entire thermostat housing.
