My 2013 Ford Escape with the base 2.5l engine broke down. It’s an automatic with about 68,500 miles on it. There was no warning that something was wrong or strange leaks where it is always parked. I was driving and started smelling a weird burning smell, but wasn’t sure it was my car. Then as I’m putting on the brakes, the car started shuttering, lurching, and finally vibrating. It felt like the engine was fighting my brake. That’s when the engine light came on and it went into limp mode. The vibrations stopped after it went into limp mode. As I was pulling off the road I got a high engine temp warning, so I shut off the car. When I looked in the engine bay I noticed some things right away: there was no coolant, it was lightly smoking, and I could see an oil ring around my oil filter. As it cooled down, I noticed a frisbee sized dark leak under the car, but it was dark and I’m not sure of the exact color or if that was actually my leak. I put coolant into it to see if I could limp it home. I was able to start the car and drive it, so it came out of limp mode. But, it started overheating again and I noticed a good size smoke plume out my back window. Before the engine could get too hot, I pulled over and shut off the car. When I checked the coolant level again, it had leaked out, so I had it towed to a shop. The shop said their scanner was unable to read the engine codes, but they completed a pressure test and just looked at the rest of my engine bay. They then told me I had a radiator leak, so I’ll have to get a new radiator. I’m concerned that they were unable to scan the engine codes and I’m also worried that there is engine damage. So question 1: will a scan show if there’s engine damage? 2: Shouldn’t they have addressed the possible oil leak and engine damage before charging for a radiator fix? I don’t want to pay for a new radiator and then turn around to be told that the engine blew a head gasket or some other damage is present. Is there a way to check for engine damage before fixing the radiator? Something is telling me there’s more wrong with this car beyond a broken radiator, but what do I know? I’m not a mechanic. I’m just not wanting to get taken advantage of by this mechanic!
