Coolant leaks in any vehicle can happen as hoses gaskets and seals age. They most often appear between the reservoir and radiator and involve cracked, damaged or disconnected hoses. Drivers will typically notice puddles of antifreeze under the vehicle, the engine overheating and low reservoir levels. In the 2016 Buick Encore, leaks can manifest from the turbocharger and be more difficult to find. Owners find antifreeze leaking from lines running to and from the Encore's turbocharger that often drip onto the catalytic converter and boils off quickly. While driving it may be complicated to locate the source of coolant leaks because when they hit hot engine parts, they evaporate. Scheduling a dye test as well as a pressure test can help diagnose their origin.
