Engine Leaking fluid,think it's anti freeze but don't know from where or what's causing it,and it was overheating so have to put water in constantly

not really a non running fan can cause overheating------ overheating problem --check fluid level--test coolant--check oil and coolant for mix problem ---water pump --etc

First of all, Alysa, that's not nearly enough information. The most common causes of engine overheating are: leaking hoses, radiator leaks, heater core leaks, a failed water pump, thermostat leak, freeze plugs leak, automatic transmission oil cooler leak and (I hope not for your sake) a cracked block or cylinder heads. Make sure you have the radiator filled with the proper amount and ratio of water and anti-freeze. Simply dumping more anti-freeze in there won't help. Check for leaks and check the thermostat before doing anything. Hope this helps. . .

If it's from the front of the engine, the water pump may have failed. Check for water coming out from the bottom of the pump.
Was the overheating caused by low coolant level?
If not the pump, check your engine freeze plugs and hoses.

anti freeze from the radiator,, possible causes, bad water pump, radiator overfilled engine overheated

it prob isnt the heater core usually when that goes u blow antifreeze steam into cab from heater vents. prob water pump or pin hole in radiator line if from the front of the engine or bad gaskets or bad freeze plugs if from the rear also check ur thermostat to make sure it working prop because u could simply be blowing out ur over flow line cause **** is plugged an over heating

this is a catch 22 type situation ,use eythelene glycol antifreeze not anything expensive this is only a catch the punter thing using this or that special stuff ,now have a good look around the engine for the leak and take that silly plastic engine cover off so you can see what happening ,now i suspect that either a heater hose is loose or splitting or a water pipe somewhere ,i do not suspect head gasket at this mileage but i do suspect a water pump possibly ,Now if you cannot find a obvious water leak then put some radiator sealer in the system and see what happens ,as for using the AC well this will engage the cooling fan keeping the engine cool in a traffic jam ,also do not get technical thinking of boiling points with or without the antifreeze as the pressure in the cooling system raises the boiling point hence a 13lb rad cap ,old cars only had a 7lb rad cap .Iam old school and i firmly beleave in a weekly check of levels and i suspect that this hasnt been done and with that big plastic cover the engine to stop the noise ,well you know what to do with that ,store it in the garage

Does the radiator fan operate properly? The radiator fluid level (checked when the engine is cold) must be 'at the cap' with the reserve tank about half-full. Blow out the radiator core with compressed air (from the engine side) to clean it of bugs and other debris. Does the anti-freeze look green or rust brown? If rust colored, the entire cooling system needs to be drained, cleaned with system cleaner, and refilled again with a 50/50 fresh mixture of anti-freeze and water. If combustion gases are leaking into the cooling system through a bad gasket or warped cylinder head, that will cause overheating. Check the radiator cap for condition of it's seal. Occasionally, the water pump impeller will begin slipping on it's drive shaft causing limited water flow through the system. That is checked by reducing the level of fluid in the radiator to just above the core and temporarily removing the thermostat. You will observe water moving rapidly if the pump is working.

that would be you antifreeze, sound like a bad radiator hose or a bad water pump

hi are you overheating and are you having to fill it up because it is leaking or were you just toping up and is it coming out of the overflow on the expansion bottle to find a leak that at first appears not to be leaking the best way to find it is to put a pressure tester on it see if the pressure goes down as it will if there is a leak but then you will see it and don,t take the water cooling systems caps off when hot yates210456

First of all ensure that your car is leaking coolant fluid, and what is dripping is not just water condensation from the air conditioner.
If you have a coolant liquid leak, it can be from one of the ducts leading to radiator , from water pump or radiator itself. Check liquid levels, and if you have a leak have the car inspected by a qualified mechanic.
A broken water pump, for example, can cause your motor to blow in few miles.
