How can Pakistani Changan Kalam owners identify early signs of radiator leaks before the engine overheats?

Coolant stains under the car, a sweet smell, o r rising temperature gauge are early warnings. Are drivers checking for these signs regularly?

Look for:

💧 Coolant puddles under the front bumper

😷 Sweet o r pungent smell near the hood ethylene glycol

📈 Rising temperature gauge

🌫️ Steam from the bonnet late-stage warning

Low coolant level in overflow reservoir

➡️ These signs should trigger immediate inspection, but many users ignore them until full overheating occurs.
