Hi guys,
My car is starting to over heat really badly now, and has gotten progressively worse over afew months.
I use to be able to put the fans on hot and the windows open and it would cool down, but now whatever i do the engine runs hot.
I checked the coolant level and it was low, so i topped it up, and helped a little. A few days later i found i had to top up the level again, as it was just below the MIN level.
But today i saw a puddle under the alternator/fan belt, and i think it is where the coolant is leaking. But i'm not sure.
Is this the water pump leaking, as i'm not sure.
Also i have found that getting heat through the blowers is getting increasingly difficult, even if the engine is running very hot. Does this have any significance?
Anyone have any idea's would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
James.
