I had a vehicle years ago that was regularly giving myself and others troubles.
I had many major leaks—an oil leak, 1 in my radiator, and another in my power steering rack. I had to deal with each leak differently. The oil leak was straightforward, as all I had to do was keep the dipstick checked at least once a week or every many weeks. If it was ever low, I’d get a bottle of high mileage engine oil out and I’d top off the engine. My radiator was the same, however it leaked so suddenly that I literally dumped a gallon of water in the radiator reservoir every afternoon before heading to work. Of course it’s not as fine as half-water antifreeze, however it’s free by comparison. I had well water at the time and never paid a penny to top off my radiator. The power steering leak was dealt with a liquid that is intended to expand in the plan and fill any leaks for a given phase of time. I wish they made something like this for a/cs, because right now I have an evaporator coil with a small crack in it and it keeps leaking coolant. Until I gather enough money to have a current evaporator coil put into site, I’m going to be forced to keep calling my heating and cooling supplier to come out and refill the refrigerant inside my Heating and A/C system. I was fortunate that I found the problem at all. If I had not been more diligent about seeking inspections on my heating and cooling equipment by the professionals, then it’s highly unlikely that I would have ever l gained of the crack in my evaporator coil.
