A few months ago I was having an issue where the heater in my 2016 Ford F-150 would blow warm, then cool, then warm.
When I got the oil changed they found that it was a little low on coolant. Weird.
Saturday the a/c stopped blowing cold and then I quickly noticed that the temp gauge was quickly rising so I pulled over to let it cool off. Once it did, I went to a parts store and added a whole bottle of coolant to it. It was fine after that.
I haven't seen any evidence of coolant in the oil.
I smell coolant around the front of the truck, but haven't found any leaks yet.
I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of these engines/trucks leaking coolant from anywhere.
