Radiator fluid leak

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Radiator fluid leaks can be tricky to pinpoint, especially on a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta. If you can't tell whether it's from the holding tank or the radiator, try a little investigation. With the engine cool, top off the coolant and run the car for a bit, watching for where the leak starts. A common spot is where the overflow hose meets the tank or cracks in the plastic of the tank itself. If it's the radiator, you might see fluid pooling near the front or dripping from the seams. Either way, catching it early can save you from bigger repairs down the road!
