radiator leak
Engine fluid seepage
A radiator leak is an unwanted escape of coolant from a vehicle's radiator or its connected hoses.
The leak may appear as a puddle under the car, steam from the hood, or an overheating engine.
The mechanic found a radiator leak near the upper hose connection.
Left unaddressed, even a small radiator leak can cause serious engine damage.
