There are many places that coolant can leak from, other than the water pump and radiator. As vehicles age, so do their components. Obviously, your water leak is elusive; otherwise it would be obvious where the leak is. If you can see coolant leaking onto the ground, then there are a few other things to check. Look for bypass pipes that may be on the engine. These can leak at joints. Also, heater hose connections can loosen or corrode, causing leaks. Radiator hose connections as well. Another common elusive leak in older vehicles is the heater core. When these leak, often they leak either onto the passenger side floorboard, or they may leak into the condensation tray for the A/C coil and just drain out onto the ground, leaving no other trace of where the leak came from. Lastly, engine blocks and cylinder heads have metal disks installed called freeze plugs. These are placed to prevent the casting from cracking should the coolant freeze and expand inside. These disks corrode and rust out over the years and can leak. Some are in areas that are not easily visible and can hide well.

I changed thermostat, radiator, water pump, hose, engine cooling temperature sensor, radiator cap and I'm still overheating. 2004 Chrysler town and country

Check the heater cores. There are usually 2 in a T&C. Also check the pipes running to the rear heater core. I recently had to have mine repaired because they were leaking!

Why is the radiator overflow bubbling out?

It sounds like air is getting into the water possibly caused by a leaking head gasket or a faulty radiator cap which is easy to replace.

My 2004 chrysler sebring overheats really bad, i can barely drive 3 miles before it reaches 3/4. I replaced the thermostat and both of the fans kick on.

you would only have water in the oil if there was a a leak in the head gasket or water jacket ports in the engine. if you are losing water,that quickly,then it's either a hose,radiator, or water pump. put a piece of cardboard under veh after youve filled the radiator and veh is cool, that way you can determine the location of leak. if you don't see the location of leak the next day, then odds are it is the water pump and only loses water after engine warms up an pressure forces it out the weep hole in the pump while driving. (note: if you have white smoke coming out of tailpipe then you probably have a blowed head gasket,)

Toyota corolla 1993 water pump leaking and steam coming from top of radiator. added chem and weld solution to radiator recently

Since the water pump is leaking there is low action of the water pump to circulate the water into the engine jackets and the radiator.
So you need to remove and overhaul or replace the water pump, replace the gasket, check the radiator for leaks with high pressure test, replace with a good cap and the fault of heating and steaming will be gone. Also check the timing of the engine, do a tune up.

My 98 chrysler cirrus is lesking water and im told

First open the hood of your car and check where the leak is coming. Thermostat gasket is one source but
it could also come the radiator, radiator hose, or the
water pump. Check all these items, and you can do
the repairs by replacing the defective parts. Except for
water pump that really needs a mechanic to replace the
bearings and the mechanical shaft seal.

Car overheat frequently and at time the engine sound is very loud

Several things can cause this overheating. Have you recently done a:
1. Check Hoses for Leaks
2. Check Radiator for Leaks --- Also, Change Radiator Cap ( can loose pressure there if
cap is bad)
3. Check Water Pump for Leaks. If Water Pump is bad, you will hear a loud noise from it
4 Complete Tune Up? Should be done at least 1x a Yr. Depending on how much you drive the Vehicle. Includes: Plugs, Plug Wires, Gas Filter, Air Breather Filter, PCV Valve, Adjust Timing,
Check Belts -- see if worn
5. Changed your Thermostat & Gasket and have the correct degree Thermostat in the Vehicle?
6.. Had your Radiator Rod and Cleaned out?
7. Temperture Sending Unit (located near Thermostat) could be bad
8. 02-Sensor (Generally located in the Exhaust Manifold - needs a socket with a space in it
to allow the Socket to fit over this top wire of the 0-2 Sensor )
9. Change oil and oil Filter.
10. Change Gas Tank Cap ---

Do all this yearly ( except the Radiator Rod & Clean ( do every 2-3 yrs), and you should not have
any over-heating nor stalling out, etc. and should pass emissions as well.
