2012 Chevrolet Cruze My heat won't heat up unless I put anti-freeze in the reservoir.
My heat won't heat up unless I put anti-freeze in the reservoir.
What is your question?
I'm sure the anti-freeze is leaking somewhere, but I don't see it on the ground. If i put anti-freeze to the fill line in the reservoir, it is down to very low the next day. Then my heat won't get hot. Even when I do put anti-freeze in, it takes awhile to heat up and won't heat up unless I'm driving. It will work for about a day and then I have to put more anti-freeze in. I checked my oil and there is no white stuff in it but it seems maybe kind of thick. I haven't noticed any abnormally large amounts of white smoke coming out the exhaust. No funny smells. My car is not overheating. I was wondering if K-Seal is safe to put in my car to see if that helps? It's a 2012 Chevy Cruze.

DO NOT put ANY type of stop leak into the cooling system!! .... It doesn't work and will only cause more problems down the road..
Highly recommend having qualified personnel perform necessary *hands-on* testing to determine exactly where coolant is escaping from system.
