Antifreeze leaking

[bull77]

Just got back from having a car wash and now I'm leaking fluid. Vibe was just serviced (semi, fluids flush) and there wasn't a leak when I was vacumning earlier.I'm thinking a hose may have come loose with the spray. I don't see any damage but the fluid is leaking from both sides of the radiator. Should I fill it up again (currently just above 'Low') and buy some leak stoppage fluid or should I wait and bring it to the dealer?!

If you cannot locate the leak I would take it to the dealer and would not try any stop leak products.

Make sure the radiator drain plug is tight/not leaking. The best way to check for full coolant is to (WITH ENGINE COLD) remove the radiator cap and check. If low, add to radiator and overflow bottle, if it's also low.

If I were you, Id try to locate the leak myself...If I couldnt find the source, add more to make it till you can have the dealer look at it (under warranty right?) I wouldnt add any of those stop leak things, specially if you have a car under warranty

Update: So I monitored the levels for the next week and the temp hasn't risen higher than half. I also haven't seen any more leaks Don't know what happened, but I'll probably be in the garage sooner than later with the fan issue, so I can mention it then

it coulda been just some excess fluid that was on the radiator or the actual structure that holds it up and the wash just drained it off and thats when u noticed it..

That was probably it - I guess I freaked when I still saw it dripping 20 minutes later
