Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing antifreeze leakage issues, which can manifest as puddles forming under the vehicle. These leaks may be linked to radiator malfunctions, leading to overheating symptoms like a rapidly rising temperature gauge. Additionally, some owners find that coolant hoses, particularly those near the exhaust heat shield, may not be secured properly, contributing to leaks. Dried antifreeze around the oil pan and pooling on its upper lip could indicate problems with the water pump or radiator hoses. Furthermore, using incompatible coolant can exacerbate leakage issues, making it essential to perform a thorough flush before adding new coolant. For those unable to resolve these issues independently, seeking assistance from a RepairPal Certified shop is recommended for expert help.
