What can I do for a Ford Escape with a water leak?

Answer by  worker3294 (236)

It depends where the water is leaking from. Water will drain underneath the car when the air conditioner is running well. Cooling system leaks require component replacement or connection tightening.

Start by locating the leak. Either do a visual inspection of the engine or buy a leak detector kit. Once you have located the problem repair or replace whatever is causing the leak.

Determine the source of the leak and replace any damaged parts. If the radiator is leaking either replace it or use an over the counter product such as Stop Leak to repair the problem.

A water leak most likely means your water pump beginning to fail. This is a serious issue and will cause an engine failure if not resolved. You will need to replace the water pump. Given the amount of work involved, you're likely going to need to change the hoses as well. The cost can be as high as $1,000.
