Coolant leak help - 2008 Ford Fusion

G-Oil Guy · 02-02-2013, 03:14 PM

Anyone have any tips on what to check for leaking on an '08 Fusion?

My mom's car keeps losing the coolant. She had it taken to our mechanic who suggested she return to the dealership who replaced her water pump under warranty to be sure that the leak wasn't related to that.

Anyway, they replaced the "water coolant sensor" (according to my mom). And it seemed to work for a few days. Then my mom was adamant that the spot on the driveway was new not old coolant.

Today while walking the dog up the street she could see the puddle under the car and it was much larger. She popped the hood and the reservoir tank was empty.

I don't think the radiator is the problem since the source of the leak is too far back to be it and it takes several weeks for the fluid to completely drain.

Any tips?

Sorry man I have no help for that.

My moms got a 07 Fusion and weve been back and forth with Ford because the brakes suddenly cut out and theres no brakes. Scary as hell man and Ford isnt helping us with it at all. If my mom gets in an accident, im going to Sue them through their asses if she gets hurt
