HelloMy question is about a 2000 Nissan AltimaThe coolant in my radiator seems to be emptying out very often. When I re-fill the radiator and start the car, coolant slowly starts dripping from below the a/c compressor. I do not know if its the a/c compressor that is leaking or some other part there. Is there a possibility that the compressor itself is leaking coolant or could it be the water pump? I checked the hoses that go in and out of the compressor and there seems to be no leak. All I can see is coolant from the bottom of the compressor dripping at a rate of, say 1 drop per 2 seconds.Thank you
The A/C system is closed to any other engine fluids. The coolant is leaking from elsewhere.
i think of that particularly some the coolant have been given interior the compressor and now it is being heated up by ability of the warmth out of your compressor rotation jointly as the unit doesnt artwork , it nevertheless spins whilst you're taking the belt off the compressor, and replace it with a smaller belt that fits without the AC it would end the smoke. or you are able to desire to absolutely eliminate the AC compressor (as a results of fact it wont artwork) and be rid of the comprehensive subject.
check your hoses to the water pump. There should be a hole above or below the water pump shaft. This is the most likely place for a water pump to start leaking. When the bearings in the water pump start to wear out, the shaft going into the pump gets a little loose and will allow coolant to pass the seals of the pump and it comes out the seep hole at the top or bottom of the water pump.
