Usually, this means that there's a leak in the cooling system somewhere. It could be a split hose, a leaking radiator or a perished gasket. I advise having a thorough look around the car's engine to see if there's evidence of leakage- dripping water, or chalk-like stains running down from a joint in the structure. If you can't find the leak spot (or if, having done so, you can't fix the problem yourself) take it to your nearest service garage for attention.

Why is coolant pouring out of 1997 wrangler tj?

Sometimes if you fill the coolant container (the white plastic container on the left side of the engine) with too much coolant , then run the car hard and park it, some coolant may be sent out the overflow tube due to the heated fluid. If no other symptom shows and the car seems normal then that is what is wrong. A lot of cars do this if the fluid level is filled right to the top. Recommendation, fill the coolant to about an inch or two of the top and not all the way to the top.
