it is possible you have a bad head gasket or cracked water jacket somewhere in your engine, if you can, make sure your radiator cap is on tight start your car let it run for a while so it gets warm leave it run for a little bit. shut it down, check the oil if there is any sign of water IE. a whitish milky looking fluid anywhere on your dipstick immediately take it in and have the system pressure checked, a simple compression test on each piston can often tell if it is a head gasket leaking into the piston. If it is a head gasket it is a somewhat simple fix anything more and it could lead to costly repairs.

sure. Thanx for the straightforward 2 factors, too. ok. music it up and examine the different hoses. appears like a very good mission automobile. Spend extra time fixing complications. you'll study an undesirable lot about automobiles operating in this one.
