Can anyone tell me how to identify a bad coolant seal, I think I have one I just want to be sure? I have White smoke coming out of my exhaust and a never ending stream of air in my coolant? Thanks for the help in advance.

sounds like you hit the nail on the head.. if you want to double check you can get a coolant system pressure tester

pressure tester



You can get one at this place for around $65 or you can probably get one at most auto parts stores

alright, I went out to my car at noon, I found a large puddle of antifreeze under it. Can someone tell me if the coolant seals are just internal. If it is then all I have to do is find the mystery leak thats plagued me for the last 24 hours. I also think that it might be the radiator, I had some work done to my car and some ******* smashed my brand new hammer and then tried to pretend that he didnt know about it( the only bad thing about the radiator is that its painted gloss black, I don't know what genius thought that up).
