- This video is a tutorial on how to identify a 2013 ford escape coolant leak use a coolant pressure test kit to locate a coolant leak in your engine bay.
This kit featured was a rental kit from Advanced Auto, but you can get your own kit with multiple adapters, but it would mostly just make sense to get an adapter that fits your specific coolant reservoir or radiator cap.
TIPS:
1. Make sure the system is cool to the touch. Feel for any wetness.
2. Listen for any bubbling, hissing, or dripping.
3. Use lights to see where you need.
4. Keep your fluid tank topped off so you don't push air through your system!
Always important to note is the max PSI your coolant system can handle and make sure not to exceed that pressure as fittings and tubes may suffer from overpressure.
Finally, in this video we are focusing on a 2013 1.6L Ford Escape. We had already removed the wiper cowl, air intake box, mid intake duct, as well as the cosmetic engine cover. This gave us best access to the fill port as well as the ability to hunt for leaks easily!

another great clip. well done mate
Thank you Joseph! Hope you don't need it but if/when you do I hope its helpful!
After 6 years of steadily replacing coolant hoses and regularly topping off coolant, my 2013 SE 1.6L is finally leak-free! It was a journey. Many of the hoses were redesigned for the 2014+, which explains a few things. Good luck, everyone!
How did you end up fixing it?
What was the last leak?
Helped Me A Ton As Always As I Noticed A Leak For Myself, I Also Have A p1450 Code For Purge Valve Can You Do An General Video Of How To Go About Replacing??
I'm 6 months late, but if he doesn't have a video there are good ones out there. I did it DIY myself and it's not too bad. Getting the valve off takes some muscle.
Have u ever found the right kit that has the right adapter or have to buy one separately I'm looking for one now for a customer's vehicle I always have this problem even after buying a master pressure cooling system tester 😑
Thanks for your how2's. Do you have any plans to make one on how to change the fan belt?
Hey Leon! Thank you for the encouragement! I haven't done that video yet as our belt was replaced with the water pump and timing belt a while ago but I'm getting to the service point again soon probably. Are you looking to do yours?
It's just about due.
@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews Mine is due soon, as well. It'd be nice to do it myself this time!
I’m impressed with how many years you have had your Escape.
Hah! Thank you! It has been a good go so far! Tried to be proactive with a lot of it. We used to have it immaculate but once we had kids it has become the babymobile :) floor liners are a life saver!
How much do you rent that for ?
Will there be a follow up on how to repair the hose?
I am doing it today so ill see what I can do!
@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews
Awesome. Thank you so much!
Can you also include tips on how to repair leaks I'm harder to reach places?
Did you end up fixing it yourself or did you have to take it in? I have a full on leak in about the same area. It has all been replaced before...
Hey there- sorry for the delay in response- I found the leak at the outlet of the engine block near the TSTAT on our 1.6L engine and replaced the outlet flange/pipe myself. It was good for a while (since the video was posted really), but I once again have a leak - it's funny you ask about it at this point in time. I have a hunch it's the same area but I'm not sure. I'll share more if I can soon. Which parts have you replaced before??? Thanks for subscribing to the channel! I really appreciate your support!
all I was planning to do was add H20..this is scarey/look 4 help.
