Just used your video to do this to my sonic. A block from home yesterday, coolant smoke started coming up from under my hood when i was at a stop. Bought the OE replacement part for $45.00 and just completed the process, although I did use Dexcool to fill it back up. Thanks for the video!

Whatever you do don’t buy a $20 reservoir on Amazon. I went through 3 of these before sucking it up and buying a $45 at autozone. Just a warning for anyone doing this 😭

Depending on the cause. What you should do is put some dye in the water and let the car run then use the black light to find where it's leaking. That's how I fixed it. Then you can figure out what needs to be replaced and fix it yourself.

I’m having issues with my 2014. I opened up my hood cuz I seen coolant on the ground and found it was dripping from the underside of this plastic tank. Could that mean it’s leaking from the bottom of the tank?

Possibly it could still be on the side somewhere and the liquid is flowing towards the bottom of the tank. The tank isn't expensive so I would just replace it

yes it very much could and it might only be leaking once the system is under pressure because the cap is designed to open to let air pressure out at 20 psi, I just found a crack on the backside of my tank (side-facing engine ) but it only leaks when the car is at temp since it builds up pressure cause the crack to leak, I would only get the OE or Ac Delco/GM part or the Dorman once used in this video all the rest are crap and the price reflects it.

Leave the radiator cap off, turn on your engine, and let it run until the radiator bleeds out air. It may take between 15 and 20 minutes for the engine to heat to the proper temperature and begin cycling coolant through

DS Videos my 2012 sonic is losing coolant and I can’t see any leaks, and you can smell antifreeze inside the car also. Once we refill the reservoir it runs great for about an hour then the coolant is gone again and no signs of leaks. I’m stumped man I just don’t know where it’s coming from and where all the antifreeze is going to

The way I found my second leak was to buy some dye online and a uv flashlight. Fill the tank with water and put the dye in it and drive it around than look in your engine bay with flashlight and the dye will pop up where it's leaking and go from there.

You should use only DexCool coolant on that car, i heard that all rubbers and rings are designed for it and other liquids contain other chemicals can be harmful in long-range.

I also read that dexcool gunk's up inside the Sonic which is why people moved on to prestone.

Can it be used after removing the fixing clamps on the upper and lower return hoses? Or is it disposable? I'm going to use it too, but I'm not sure, should it be changed
