noticed my car has been running a little hot lately, so i popped the hood and i could hear the coolant cooking in the tube kindasad.gif, now i got three questions...
1, i guess my thermostat is the cause, right?
2, does it matter that the coolant was cooking ? like leaving lime residue ow something?
3, anyone knows how much a new one would run?

he never burned coolant, oil, or had any mix. it just kept overheating. get a test kit that tests for combustion gasses dissolved in your coolant. it could be a warp leak or a hot pressure leak where it only leaks out into the coolant from a cylinder into a water jacket on the power stroke when the engine is hot. heat causes things to expand and warp.
