why does my Genesis G70 have a coolant leak under the car?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the engine is cool before starting work.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical issues.

2. Identify Leak Source

• Use a flashlight to closely inspect suspected areas identified in diagnostic steps.
• Clean the area around the suspected leak with a degreaser to better spot the source.

3. Repair or Replace Components

• Hoses:

  • If any hoses are damaged, loosen the clamps, remove the hose, and replace it with a new one. Tighten clamps securely.

• Radiator:

  • If the radiator is leaking, drain coolant, remove the radiator support bolts, disconnect the transmission lines if applicable, and remove the radiator. Replace with a new radiator and reassemble.

• Water Pump:

  • If the water pump is leaking, drain the coolant, remove the drive belt, unbolt the pump and remove it. Install a new water pump, ensuring the gasket is fitted correctly, and reassemble.

4. Refill Coolant

• Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture (typically a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water).
• Bleed the cooling system to remove any air pockets.

5. Final Assembly

• Reattach any components removed during the repair process.
• Ensure all hoses and connections are secure.
