My 95 Camry is requiring more coolant or water in the past week (more in past few days), the radiator looks pretty new. Does it use more coolant when it's rained a lot or been colder?

Asked by 95CamryLE Nov 10, 2015 at 09:35 AM about the 1995 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Have had car since June 2013 and it's been
taken care of for maintenance and repairs.
Has 212k miles. Why is it requiring more
coolant lately, but not in the past 2 winters?

1 Answer

If the amount you are losing is small and you don't have any hoses that are obviously bad, try putting Alumaseal in your radiator when it is cold. Never open a radiator cap when the car is hot.
