Leaks water just as fast as I pour it in.

Asked by Nicole_Marie803 Mar 01, 2018 at 07:20 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Impala LS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Over this past winter my
coolent was not filled with
antifreeze it was filled with
water. So when it was
freezing my car was frozen. I
cranked my car up trying to
warm it up, but I think it
cracked some hoese I have
2 leaks. One towards the
front and one more towards
the back of the motor. I did
not drive the car.vwhen the
car is warmed up water
pours out just as fast as I
pour it in. Any input on
where it could be leaking
from or why leaking so
much so fast

That big of a leak should be obvious if you look.

Antifreeze put in 4 months ago would've been cheaper , This is a lesson from the school of hard knocks that you won't soon forget !!! Take my advice and sell it for scrap .Even if you can get the freeze plugs installed there is a very strongly possible that the heads are warped or cracked , 16 year old cars aren't worth much , You'll have more in repairs than the car is worth

Put in new freeze plugs, fill it with the proper 50/50 mix on antifreeze and see what happens. Putting only water in today's engines is not a very good thing to do. Not only will it cause corrosion and electrolysis it will freeze and break things.
