Hi all ,
I was just wondering if anyone here has ever had there expansion tank leak on there car? and cause it to over heat?, i have had this overheating problem for some time now and alot of people were telling me it is a blown head gasket but i truely do not think that is what the problem is , because i do not have any oil mixed with my coolant or vise versa. and the engine runs excelent , the problems i am having are the car runs outta coolant quickly and or wont hold coolant which is making the car over heat extreamlyyyyyyy BAD.. well this morning we went out and started the car after letting it set for a while and dry and as soon as we started it up it shot some coolant out from around the expansion tank lid and then about 5 minutes later i see a stream of coolant commin from under the car and we look under it and it is leaking very badly a steady stream of coolant is comming from under where the expansion tank sets. so we are thinkin we will have to replace the Expansion tank and lid. hopfully this will solve my problem with the car over heating , it has a small oil leak but the oil leak looks as if it is comming from the oil pan (im thinking a Gasket)... anywas let me know if anyone else has had a simmular problem like this and if they changed there expansion tanks and lid and if it solved the over heating problem , thanks a bunch!!!!
