my 90 240dl is still squealing when its cold, i have tightened up the belts, this did help considerably. i experience some steaming and some antifreeze on
the ground after a drive to work say 30 minutes highway. I notice this only after topping up the anti-freeze. I drive for a week say and coolant level is like at the min. line. I don't get any steam or leak then? Anyone got any ideas on this? Thanks again for your attention. Doug

Try to identify if the spots on the ground are from the engine front or rear. Steaming can mean just a leak, or coolant hitting a hot something.

Are you topping up with the 50/50 antifreeze to distilled water mix?

Carry a gallon of distilled water on board in case the leak gets larger. You can limp home on that. Watch the dilution if you are in sub-freezing climate.

Good Luck,

Bob
