Coolant leak

Hi this is Dusty, I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team. Since the leak appears to be worse while the car is running, it's likely that the increased pressure in the cooling system when the engine is running is causing the leak to be more pronounced. It's possible that a hose or a connection point in the cooling system is damaged (such as a pin sized hole in a hose) or loose, leading to the leak. However, it's still important to address the issue promptly to prevent any potential overheating problems in the future. Addressing a coolant leak promptly is crucial to prevent potential engine damage due to overheating. If the leak worsens or you notice any other concerning symptoms, such as overheating or a persistent drop in coolant level, avoid driving the car and have it evaluated at a reputable shop. They'll complete a visual inspection and inspect the coolant hoses and connections to look for more evident sources of the leak. If necessary, they'll perform a cooling system pressure test to simulate the pressures that are generated while driving to help expose the source of the leak. They'll have the expertise and equipment to diagnose the problem quickly, accurately and address it effectively.
