Antifreeze corrosive?

[enzia35]

I noticed a lot of paint coming from under the battery tray and coolant overflow. I've been losing half the radiator of coolant in a couple of hours, and wondering there could be something leaking around this area. I've looked for leaks, but not too hard...very busy with school and the like.

Coolant resivor or your radiator cap is bad.

That's what I'm thinking. It will lose fluid just sitting in the driveway.

That battery tray happens to be the coolant reservoir. It is plastic so IDK if you have leaks there. You probably want to check the level from there and also pop open your cap and like Steve said check that too.

Sorry, I meant paint flaking from the area right under the battery. Just wondering if antifreeze leaking from the area could cause the paint to flake.
