Why does my Suzuki Khyber keep leaking radiator water every few days?

I’ve recently noticed that the water level in my Khyber’s radiator keeps ping every 2-3 days. There are no major visible leaks under the car, but the reservoir gets empty quickly. Is this a common issue with older Khyber models?

This is a fairly common issue in older Suzuki Khyber models, especially those that haven’t had their cooling systems maintained regularly. The radiator in Khyber is usually made of aluminum and can develop small cracks o r corrosion over time, especially in hot climates o r with the use of plain water instead of coolant.

Here are some common causes:

Worn-out radiator o r hose: Over time, rubber radiator hoses can become brittle and develop cracks.

Faulty radiator cap: If the cap doesn’t seal properly, it can allow coolant to escape as steam o r leak out.

Water pump leak: A minor leak in the water pump can cause gradual coolant loss.

Rust and corrosion: Using tap water instead of coolant promotes rust inside the radiator and pipes, which weakens them.

What to do:
Get a pressure test done at a radiator shop to identify the exact leak point. Replacing the old hoses, using proper coolant, and regularly flushing the radiator can prevent future issues.
