you might have a blown head gasket and the coolant is leaking into the cylender and the engine is burning it.
could be your thermostat or you have no antifreeze coolant or your water pump is going bad
I'm not a mechanic / technician but from what I have heard your engine oil will turn kind of milky looking if antifreeze is getting into the engine oil Also , the oil level will keep rising on the dipstick ( I did have a vehicle once that I had pink colored antifreeze in it , the oil would actually float on top of the antifreeze after the engine was shut down for a while , it wouldn't mix but the oil level on the dipstick kept going up and the engine coolant kept going down ( Sorry , I reviewed my answer and it's for coolant in the oil )
Most of the time it is because the water pump is going out and it is leaking where the pulley is on the engine.
No. The top hose goes to the engine. The bottom hose feeds from the engine to the heater core back to the radiator.
engine coolant
side affects of breathing antifreeze odor from a cng combustible engine
I'm not a mechanic / technician but if white smoke is coming out of your tailpipe with the engine warmed up it sounds like you are getting engine coolant into one or more of your engine cylinders . ( bad head gasket / warped cylinder head ) Is the coolant / antifreeze mix also going into your engine oil )
A bad head gasket is the most common cause of antifreeze mixing in the oil. The antifreeze will dilute the oil and it will eventually cause your engine to seize up.
Doubtful !... The antifreeze is added to the radiator - to keep the water above freezing point. There is no way of the engine knowing how much antifreeze is circulating.
The engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment , on the passenger side , about the middle ( 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water , do not exceed 60 % antifreeze )
in some case it will. the composition of antifreeze is different by colour. in some engines the chemicals react with the engine parts (i.e. gaskets or seals) and cause the parts to fail. use the proper antifreeze for your engine.
