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? |

Hey all, I have a 95 gt, 5fse, and guess what? it doing the same thing. I purchased a new radiator, seeing how mine split ever so slightly along the top seam. Thinking i fixed the problem, I continued driving it just to find myself losing coolant. Where does it go, im not sure at this point. There is no white smoke coming from the exhaust, there is no leaking of any sort under my car or as i am driving it. The oil is spotless with not even a trace of water in it. The car has no sign of power loss, ruff idles, or any other sign of a cracked head or blown head gasket! When you fill the system it runs fine, fans work when it reaches a certain temp, like it should, and temp maintains a perfect steady setting. But drive it about 80-100 miles and adding more coolant again. Seems like coolant last longer at lower speeds, which indicates to me that it must have a blown headgasket and probably pressurizing the coolant system. Any thoughts on this one?
