Car Overheated :-(

[hotcarmaster12]

So Today I had to go get my classes and text books for school next week, when I came back to my car after I had done all that there was a big puddle underneath, at first I thought it was just my a/c, but then I rememberd I didnt have it on, So I drove it to my grandparents house and when I got out it just started pouring out everywhere, and my dash said low coolant, so I filled it up with water and drove it home, got out poped the hood and took the cap off the coolant... and everything inside bubbled out. We think Its just the water hose, someone else says I blew the engine, which I doubt I did. But anyways I still have 2 months left on the warrenty and their coming tonight to tow it to the lot, so I should know whats wrong with it tomorrow
Sorry For the novel lol

hmm this happened to my cavalier, you check you're lines?? maybe hole somewhere?

[hotcarmaster12]

I dont know. But now the dealership is trying to say that we never got a warrenty. when the car came with a 3 month 3 thousand, and Ive only had it for 2 months. So idk, im waiting til my parents get home and we can look on the paperwork to see if it says i have a warrenty

[zukiracer19]

where is it leaking at?

[hotcarmaster12]

right under the coolant tank/container whatever it is. And the overflow valve? its fine when im driving itll over heat a lil, but as soon as I stop it just all pours out of there

[zukiracer19]

uhm, smoke out the exhaust? coolant in oil? i doubt you blew your headgasket, but never know, does it spray out or what, did you check the tubing ?

[hotcarmaster12]

No smoke no collant in oil, I dont know, when I took the cap off it all bubbled out from the coolant tank and under somewhere. this happens everytime i stop the car, I dont know Ill know what it is tomorrow

[zukiracer19]

well it sounds like it leaks out than overheats, than you got a leak somewhere.

[hotcarmaster12]

[hotcarmaster12]

They said It was the themostat so we bought that and are putting it in tomorrow so we'll see if that helps

This might sound stupid, but I used to have a problem with my coolant leaking out in massive amounts.

Turns out my cap was cracked underneath so I couldn't tighten it down all the way -- maybe check that.

you have a hole in one of your coolant hoses/lines.

Trust me, owning an RX7 you learn cooling system sh1t really well, as it is the "heart attack" of rotary engines (as in, one of the top illnesses to kill the rotary). You lose coolant, you will blow your engine FAST. you don't have the time and room for error like a piston engine.
