Default radiator question

i refill my radiator about every week .i put almost 2gallons so its pretty low .when i turn the engine on the water starts to fast drip out of the bottom of the engine not from under the radiator.i have the coolant reserve tank next to the battery empty so thers no thing filling the radiator and yet the blazer runs fine no problems.all i know is i turn the blazer on and the water begins to fast drip out the area of the bottom of the engine and aweek goes by and nothing bad happens but i just refill the radiator quite a bit.does this happen to anybody?what is this water drippage and yet no problem stuff?anything would help .thanks guys

Yes at some point in most peoples lives it happens to them. You have a leak. I would guess start looking at the lower radiator hose.
It looks like it's comming from the bottom of your engine because water is trying to get to the earths center of gravity by following
the path of least resistance.


You need to find and fix this problem ASAP unless you have very deep pockets and enjoy standing on the side of the road.

me buddy had something similar happening to his ride yesterday..he also thought it was one of the hoses that lead to the engine..after some checking i found that all the hoses were good..he took it in to the mechanic since he didnt want to keep messing around..turned out to be the water pump..check your water pump dude.

When you finally run it out of water you will be replacing the engine if you don't get it fixed ASAP. Your just lucky you haven't burned up the engine by now.

Have you checked to see if one of the freeze plugs has popped out? I'm rebuilding my niece's 97 Blazer that has set for a couple of years and that was the first thing I encountered.
