2012 Ford Focus, 155K miles, it is leaking a decent amount of coolant when my partner drives it to work but doesn’t even leak a drop if I drive it to work. The mileage is the same but I don’t sit in traffic. Could the extra heat from sitting in traffic be opening up a pinhole sized leak in the coolant line?

Edit: Thanks to a tip from the comments when the heat is turned on it leaks. I should be able to bypass that line pretty easy.

Thanks Kolgeirr@sh.itjust.works

    I’m afraid that your partner has a coolant addiction and you need to get them checked into rehab.

    On a serious note, perhaps sitting in traffic is causing the temp to increase and causing a leak. This would make me think perhaps the radiator fan isn’t working properly?
