Sorry guys i tried to search but nothing came up!!
ANYWAYS, so my car is infact over heating. First week i noticed this- K!!! so about a week ago my temp gauge started acting up....it would rise..then when i turn my heater on it would drop. Couple days later my heater would no longer work, so i checked my coolant and barley had anything left so i topped it up. Everything seemed fine for a bit, then a day or two after my temp gauge reach above 'H' and i pulled over and it sounded like my head was boiling a nice pot of soup. I waited a bit and quickly released the rad cap. It steemed for a bit (obviously) and i toped it off with coolant and it ran fine for a day or two. So today on my way to work i ended on heading back home on a flat bed. My temp gauge stayed at above 'H', no warm air....i topped it of with coolant, and i donno where it goes :| its hard for me to tell if theres a leak...and i hope its not my head gasket? |

Is the radiator leaking..... Go to your local autoparts store and buy a leak detector. It will be a can of something to put in the radiator and a light pen. Have you ever seen the CSI shows where they shine the purple light and see all the semens and the hidden bloods..... thats exactly what this is. Its a uv visible liquid and a UV light pen put it in and run the car and see your leaks. Check the thermostat if you dont hear a click at idle and rpms dont drop your therm housing didnt open.
