DOES ANTI FREEZE EVAPORATE?

Your cooling system in your vehicle is a closed system, so coolant cannot evaporate.  If you are having to add coolant to your system, you have a leak somewhere.  Which means that you need to have a cooling system pressure test performed.  This test is usually performed overnight.  Some times leaks do not show up until the vehicle has completely cooled down.

When your engine does not have the proper amount of anti freeze (coolant) in the system it will start to overheat.  Don't let the engine run overheated, or you will likely damage it. 

Remember never remove the radiator cap or open the reservoir when the engine is hot. The fluid inside is under pressure and hot enough to scald you.

When adding anti freeze make sure you check your owner's manual for the correct type for your vehicle.
