What is causing my 98 Daewoo Lanos to lose coolant and leak under the car?

I have a 1998 1.5L Daewoo Lanos.





Everytime I fill up the coolant, it just drains it all and slowly leaks all out under the car.





It dosen't seem to be leaking from any pipes, radiator etc. It looks like it's coming from near the block.





Is this a blown headgasket?|||Dude... I'm going to be blunt, and I'm not making a joke... it's a Daewoo... why do you think they are out of business?


They're re throw away cars.. when they break you throw them away...they are worth their weight in scrap, thas about it...


you might get lucky and be able to slowly part it out, but you have to have a place to store it until it's stripped enough to make it worth while.... I'd just haul it to the scrap yard and sell it for scrap... that's about what it's worth... sorry man.|||Exactly its a Daewoo and i think that it is a Korean made car which is even worse soory but its true and to be honest you would be better off selling it that putting over about 500.00 to fix it because its not worth it sorry and no a blown headgasket leaks internally into the pinston chamber casue the car to burn it|||You just need to locate EXACTLY where the coolant is exiting.


If you can't do that, take it to a cooling specialist, and if he can't SEE where it is exiting, have a pressure test done on the cooling system.


Pressure will make it obvious.


If it just FALLS out, the source should be obvious anyway.....?


Not likely to be a head gasket. More likely water pump, rotten rubber hose, cracked pipe, or holed radiator. Yes, or welch (freeze) plug.|||i think u got a blown freeze plug looks like an old car i think theyre rusted, if ure hoses are ok, but
