Fill it up with water and leave it to stand. Check for leaks.
Then run the engine on tick over and check continuously for leaks. if you cannot see water on the floor, but the level has dropped in the radiator, then it's more likely to be the head gasket allowing the water to leak into the engine or exhaust.How do you flush a radiator?
Used coolant is considered a hazard to the environment and should be disposed of by a professional. its best to have the service performed by a shop that utilizes a coolant flush/exchange machine. There are a lot of do-it-yourself chemicals out there that work real well IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER. But would you like to try it yourself and not know if you have accomplished anything, or pay a professional to do it right the first time?
