Consumer Description

Coolant fluid is leaking into engine cylinder #3. Yes, the vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. The coolant leak can cause the car can overheat, leading to a loss of power, poor performance, and potential engine damage An engine coolant system pressurized diagnostic test was performed by Stuckey Ford in Bellefonte, PA. I will have the report from this test when I pick up the car from the shop. Previous owner stated that one of the spark plugs needed to be changed, but did not disclose engine coolant leak. After purchasing, an indicator light came on stating that the coolant level was low. We have been adding coolant as needed.
