I recently had a water leak in my car and it turned out to be the radiator. If you notice your coolant level dropping or if there’s a sweet smell inside, it’s time to consult a mechanic.

Great point! A leaking water pump can also cause serious issues. Be on the lookout for puddles under your car when parked.
I’ve heard that water leaks could lead to engine damage. How much does it usually cost to fix these kinds of problems?
Depending on the severity, it can range from $100 for basic leaks to over $1000 for major repairs. Always get a quote before proceeding!
Finding a reliable repair shop is key! Look for online reviews and ask for recommendations from friends. You don’t want to end up with someone who just wants to make a quick buck.

If a mechanic pushes for unnecessary services or refuses to show you the problem, that’s a big red flag. Trust your instincts!
Sometimes I think mechanics have magical powers to conjure up problems that don’t exist! But in all seriousness, transparency is crucial.
