Proper Diagnosis Is Critical

Many symptoms associated with coolant intrusion can also be caused by other engine problems. Our technicians perform a thorough diagnostic process to determine the exact cause before recommending repairs.


Diagnostic testing may include:


  • Cooling system pressure testing
  • Cylinder leak-down testing
  • Compression testing
  • Borescope inspection


Once the cause is identified, we will explain the repair options and help determine the most appropriate solution for your vehicle.

Common Symptoms

  • Check engine light with misfire codes
  • Coolant loss with no visible external leak
  • Rough running during startup
  • White exhaust smoke
  • Engine overheating


What Causes Coolant Intrusion


Coolant intrusion can occur due to several possible causes, including:


  • Internal block casting defects
  • Head gasket failure
  • Cylinder head issues
  • Cracks in engine components


When coolant enters a combustion chamber, it disrupts normal engine operation and can cause repeated misfire codes.
