I noticed a leak of anti-freeze today on my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant es. It currently has 95000 miles on it. Before I saw this leak, I was having trouble with the car's heat working properly. It didnt want to heat up.


thank you

Thanks for replying. The leak is in the front right of the car. The heat took a lot longer to work and while I was just sitting at a light or not accelerating it was not very warm. I have been smelling the anti freeze for a couple weeks but this is the first time I actually saw it on the ground.

Thank you

You get no heat because the coolant level is low and the heater core is higher up. Check your coolant level COLD ONLY, and repair the leak, it sounds like a radiator leak to me, please get back to me.
