Hi I have a 2004 lincoln navigator and out of no where the truck started to leak coolant slowly now its fast I tried k seal and no results. I don't know if I did the k seal right but anyways I squeezed the coolant hose to see what will happen and it started pouring out the bottom totally emptied. I have a video of it but I don't know how to attach it to it also notice the hose to the radiator spitting out bubbles in the coolant tank please help my car has been down for days now. The location of the leak is the bottom middle when you look underneath miles 197,000 miles
Thanks in advance

Why would you waste money on that kind of snake oil instead of just fixing the leak(s)?

See the topic "READ THIS FIRST - Forum Guide" near the top of the main page.

You need to find the source of the leak(s). UV dye and/or a pressure test is the best way to do that. Seeing as how that thing is 20 years old it's a good bet you have leaky rubber hoses. Worst case scenario would be a blown head gasket. There's a kit you can get to test for exhaust gases getting into the cooling system.

Thanks alot I'll get the uv I believe it's a hose but can't be to sure without the test thanks again
If you've never changed the hoses, change them now and don't wait for the other hose to go. Hopefully you didn't blow the head gasket, because they're probably around what the car is worth to replace at this point.
There are only two hoses, one goes to the radiator, and the other leads away from it. Depending on the design, you may have throttle warmers as well. My 1999 Ranger has them.
Good luck.
A sealer is not going to seal a hose if that’s where the leak is. It will only seal a radiator but make sure you use clean coolant. If the hose is broken just replace it. If it’s the expansion tank use some jb weld.
