Major coolant system leak.
I hope someone can help with this. This is my situation- This car has to last me a couple weeks longer. I have been having all kind of leaking problems. For example the last episode: Friday, go to get transfer of title and notice a major leak from the excess hose that is right by the cap. I was prepared for this and took my trusty gallon of water and filled it up. Saturday I go and trade the reservoir for a new one. (Keeping in mind that something else is really the source problem, just trying to make it last til I get rid of it). I put it on and on Monday topped it off after running the car because I figure it wasnt really topped off when I replaced it. (I didnt run it and top it off at that point). And now, one day later my car is over heating. I look under the hood and there is a lot of air noise being released in and around the reservoir. I cant tell exactly where from though and there is def signs of coolant all over that side. But of course no current leak to tell exactly where from. What is the most likely culprit? I have thought of thermostat, like if it were getting stuck, maybe causing pressure that would make it do this. Previous incidents included the leaking of the reservoir around the seam at about the halfway mark on the bottle. I have also thought water pump but I doubt it. Ideas please? I am not at a location that is easy to look at the car. Thanks.
