SOURCE: car overheating and leaking water

this leaking is either from the radiator or the water pump , to check the water pump grab the polly and rock it back and forth there should be no movment if its moved then you should replace the water pump and also you could hear a noise coming from the pump

SOURCE: overheating quickly and leaking water under the hood

Check and see the water pump or possible bad termostat..check the termostat first, less expensive..also check and see if there are any leaks from the radiator hoses..

2003 Alero overheated and shut off there was water in oil pan but not on cap or dip stick. I have changed the oil and filter and tried to charge battery to start car but it still just turns over.

This is not as simple as putting stop leak in the radiator, this is a head gasket or warped head / cracked block. You need to have a compression test or leak down test done to see where the damage is. If you attempt something simple and get it running. IT will leave you stranded when it fails again and could cause a serious accident.

R33 nissan skyline turbo over heated.the radiator exploded due to bottom radiator hose clamped shut causing no water flow i started it a couple of times after that.but now it wont start it almost does...

Hi this is really bad, first thing the overheating may have warped the head on the motor so i would get that checked by a pro before you do anything including starting it as it will do even more damage, second the water leaking near water pump will be from the gasket which would have blown out/split from the pressure which also maybe why water has ended up in your airbox, third the oil on the road can really only leak from the engine so the block maybe cracked too.
The best solution would be take to a pro and get an assessment but i wouldnt be suprised if the motor needs a lot of repair work im sorry to say hope this helps

89 f250 overheated and stalled 3 times. I replaced thermostat and water pump. Looks like water got in my oil as ists foamy and over filled. Truck will turn over and tries to fire but wont start

Sounds like your head gasket has gone bad. you may have noticed white smoke comeing out of the exhust. do not run this engine without changeing the oil or you will destroy the engine, and if the head gasket is leaking it will dump water or antifreeze into the oil again.you can take a compression check on the engine to tell you what head gasket is bad.

My car overheated and shut down. oil is fine and water was cold and now it wont start. what could the problem be?

I would have to say that it sounds to me like it is the thermostat. If it isn't opening properly it will not let the coolant circulate. I do not think it is the water pump, because in MOST cases it will leak.

Coolant/Oil Leak... Big or Little problem?

I think that car has a transverse mounted motor. if that is the case, the area that you see coolant is probably coming from the weep hole on the water pump shaft. that is the precursor to a bearing failure. that is where i would look first. if you get coolant on the pass side floor of the car, then it would be the heater core. hope that helps.

'95 MUSTANG IS OVERHEATING

bad headgasket = water in oil (milky) or oil in water (foamy I think).
but yea, ah... I had a Ford once. My experience is that once something like this starts the only thing you can do to repair it is to buy a japanese car. lol
