Q: i checked and the anti-freeze was completely gone-even though i had filled the container all the way up. it has onky been 3 days, i know this can't be normal for it all to be gone...what could be wrong? i use a 50/50 mix...is this ok to use? why is my car so thirsty? also, even when i turn the heat/air coditioner off inside my car, i put my hand to the vents and still feel the air coming out lightly. why doesn't it shut all the way off-what's going on, and what should i check for when i take the car to be looked at this weekend? also, i was told by a friend to buy a 50/50 mix that says "NO WATER NEEDED" and put it in the large whitish/clearish container instead of the slimmer, metal tube with the black twist-off top. am i putting the anti-freeze in the right spot?
A: 50/50 is ok, its half water half antifreeze. As for your thirsty car, have it checked. it could be a leak but you said it was completely go within 3 days of filling it up. A "leak" is too slow for that. try letting your car run for 20 min.s after u put the antifreeze. let it sit while it runs. Watch to see if and where it leaks or pours out of. Let em know your observations when u bring it to get looked at. If you spilled any onto the engine (headers, manifold, etc.) its going to smoke and give off a smell until it burns off completely. And your air vents will always slightly blow air, it comes from the engine. Plus its an older car- not so "high tech" it's ok too though.
