The last two nights it went below freezing (in the 20's) my car had a large puddle of coolant running out from under it. The next three nights were much warmer (lows in the 40's), there were no leaks. I started the car, after bringing the fluid level back to normal, and let in run for an our. I could find no leaks. I drove the car for about 5 miles and still could not find any leaks. Any ideas? Thanks John

Hi there, don't rely on just running the car to check for coolant leaks, have the system pressure tested this is the only way to check for leaks, have the cap tested as well.
