Water loosing cooling system

If your Hyundai H1 2018 model is losing water from the radiator at an alarming rate, even with a new radiator that is not leaking, there are a few potential causes for this issue:

Coolant leak: While you mentioned that the radiator is not leaking, there could still be a coolant leak elsewhere in the cooling system. Check for any visible signs of coolant leakage, such as puddles under the vehicle or wet spots on hoses, connections, or the engine. Coolant leaks can occur at various points, including hoses, water pump, heater core, or even the engine block itself. If you cannot identify any external leaks, it is possible that the leak is internal, such as a blown head gasket or a cracked engine block.
Faulty radiator cap: The radiator cap plays a crucial role in maintaining the proper pressure and preventing coolant loss. A faulty radiator cap can cause coolant to escape from the system. Inspect the radiator cap for any signs of damage, such as a worn-out gasket or a cracked cap. If necessary, replace the radiator cap with a new one and see if it resolves the issue.
Internal engine issue: Internal engine problems, such as a blown head gasket or a cracked engine block, can cause coolant to mix with the combustion chamber or leak into the oil system. This can result in rapid coolant loss without any visible external leaks. Look for symptoms such as white exhaust smoke, coolant in the oil (appearing as a milky substance on the oil dipstick), or an overheating engine. If you suspect an internal engine issue, it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and address the problem.
Improper coolant filling or air pockets: If the coolant was not properly filled or if there are air pockets in the cooling system, it can cause coolant loss. Air pockets can prevent the proper circulation of coolant and result in overheating and coolant loss. In such cases, bleeding the cooling system to remove air pockets and ensuring the coolant level is at the correct level may resolve the issue.

Given the significance of the coolant loss and the potential complexity of the underlying problem, it is advisable to have your Hyundai H1 2018 model inspected and diagnosed by a qualified mechanic or Hyundai service center. They will have the expertise and necessary diagnostic equipment to identify the specific cause of the coolant loss and provide the appropriate repairs or solutions.

I have a 2004 dodge stratus and it is burning excessive radiator fluid at a high rate. i think i have an internal busted head gasket. should i put a heavy duty radiator sealant in the radiator.

no
loosing water is a concern but the correct method before adding anything to the cooling system is to find the leak
A head gasket can be checked by a compression test
leaks can be determined by a cooling system pressure test
The leak can be from a rusted out welsh plug, water pump seal , radiator cor hole , heater core failure

Is it coming out of the radiator cap or from the fins itself ? If from cap, replace cap and if from fins replace radiator.
Can pressure test to verify.

Why does the water in my radiator empty out after 30 minutes of driving?

You have a cooling system leak..

Most likely a split hose or water pump seal.

If you need to drive it , top it up and leave cap loose, this will stop pressure build up and slow down the coolant leak..

You will need to pressure check cooling system for lactation of leak.

I have a 2004 Hyundai Santa Dr that is splashing coolant all over everything under the hood. What could it be?

Sounds like either a split pipe, a loose connection, a ruptured radiator or a loose radiator cap. In extreme cases it could be a leaking water pump or a blown head gasket. If it is any of the first suggestions and you drive it far without checking you water level, you will blow the head gasket. With the engine cold fill the radiator and let the car idle. Within a few minuts you will see where the leak is as the enging gets to normal temp.

Your getting some bad radiators. If the replacement was brand new, then I would be looking for any points of vibration that could cause something to rub on the radiator, also check your water pump flow, it should be good and strong to eliminate hot spots

I have exhaust bubbling out of my radiator over flow and dont kno if its cus the head gasket is blown or if its just steam evaporating because the water pump isn't working on a 2000 hyundai accent

If you have excessive bubbling comming out of the radiator or overflow, its usually because of compression leaking into your cooling system caused by a blow head gasket or cracked block. If the watter pump isnt circulating coolant its most likely over boiling the coolant in the motor. Best suggestion is to leak down test the motor with the rad cap off. See if you're loosing pressure and if so, check if the pressure is comming out of the rad. If it is loosing pressure and comming out of there, you have one of the following issues above. If not repair the water pump, change the thermostat as well and re-check

With the motor cold, I would remove the drive belt and try to turn the water pump pulley by hand. It should move freely and only make a gurgling noise like water moving inside the motor but should not make any metal on metal noise if it's working properly. This is likely your cause. The water will only weap out of the pump when the shaft of the pump is turning thus the intermmittent leak when you park.

Also the radiator cap was probably removed to perform the leak check but you have to inspect the radiator cap itself. If the o-rings in the cap are worn you could lose pressure in the system and even though you might not see the liquid coming from the cap it could be shooting out through a rubber hose near the cap. If the water pump checks out I would try a new radiator cap.

If it's overheating it will lose antifreeze.I would change the thermostat first and see it it solves the overheating problem if not then worry about the water pump. Thermostats are only $7-10.

Where is termostat in hyundai elantra

It is not likely the thermostat, because the thermostat is showing that it is overheating,so it is working, you must have a coolant leak somewhere. You will have to find coolant leak. Car is overheating because it is low on coolant

Check your oil dip stick, if the oil is thin and way over full the water may be getting into the base somehow.

First thing to check is the oil filler cap if when you take it off and there is a white coffee colour gunk on cap then your head gasket is failing. If the gasket is failing water will seep through the gap and burn away.

Torai Chimbwanda Jun 02, 2017

yes i have checked there is sticky gunk on the oil filler cap. i guess it is the gasket as you said. thank you for the assistance this is so helpful i know what is the problem now. but the car is moving perfect without overheating or any difference.
