So the wife's Sonic started leaking coolant a few days ago, I am out of town and she says it was a very bad leak. She took it by a local mechanic who said her waterpump was not working. Had it replaced and it is still leaking around the degas bottle as well as at the end of the hose on the top portion of the bottle.
My question is how common is it for the bottles to crack and leak. Am I looking at a hose not sealing properly? I know that a blown headgasket can cause it to push coolant but she has not ran the car hot to blow the gasket. The car only has 130,xxx mile on it.
If anyone can give me some tips on a place to start so I can get it fixed. I know I can just throw parts at it and get it fixed eventually but I would rather get it right the first time lol
