Nissan Altima loosing coolant after replacing gaskets…?
I have a 2004 Nissan Altima. Was loosing coolant a lot. Mechanic said I blew gaskets from an internal leak & replaced a lot of gaskets. After running the car tonite, I’m STILL loosing coolant. When I stopped at the store I checked & I was full. When I got home I was down to 1/2 way between MAX & MIN lines on the resevoir tank. I also hear a rattling noise when I hit about 20MPH, but no sounds below or above it. What else could be wrong???? Head gasket was replaced as well-the service engine light came on & I was loosing power. The engine runs great again, but still having issues with coolant. A: It’s common that the coolant level drops right after repair – there was some air in the system, you can just top it up, but if the coolant level continues to drop, you should go back to the same garage and ask them to recheck it. As for rattle, it could be some exhaust shield or something like this – same thing ask them to recheck it.
