SOURCE: coolant leak on 99 Ford Taurus

I to have the same problem with the coolant leak in my 99 Ford Taurus. We have tried putting coolant in about 3 or 4 times only to have it leak out. The last thing we tried was to have some dye installed to try and find the leak with no success. My leak was not discovered until it was too late. The transmission cooling part of the radiator got a leak. It allowed coolant to get into the transmission. I was pulling away from a stop light and blew the sun gear apart in the tranny. In short, check tranny fluid. If it is milky, change the tranny fluid and get a new radiator before it's too late. Wound up costing me $2000 for a tranny. Good luck.

SOURCE: 1999 Ford Windstar 3.8 no heat

If you have a knock or clicking noise behind the radio, it is the blend motor. The blend door is spring loaded and the gears in the blend motor are "stripped". The door is spring loaded so that the door is closed to the heater core. About 2 hours to replace and a lot of bending and stretching. You don't have to remove the dash, but all of the trim, radio, and controls will need to come out.

Coolant and oil leak

have a compression test done as the bubbles suggest a blown head gasket or cracks. That will account for the overheating. The oil leak may be from the head gasket or cracks.

Coolant leak from underneath

if you have a coolant or antifreeze mixed with the water, you should see a trace of the coolant on the motor, where it is leaking. check water hose clamps and water pump. if the water pump is leaking slowly, it has failed and will break within time. any coolant leak will cause your car engine to overheat.

1999 ford taurus- yellow engine warning light keeps showing cylinder 1 misfire. I have: 1. Changed out plugs and wires, 2. switched wires around, 3. replaced fuel injector, 4. replaced coil. Still...

Yes.
You could have a leaking head gasket or a crack in the cylinder head.
After driving the car for a few days the spark plug should show signs of coolant on the tip.
You may want to do a compression test to see if that cylinder is low on compression too.

Car is running hot I think it's my water pump .

The most likely causes of a hot running engine are the following:

1. low antifreeze level in the radiator and cooling system.
2. fan not turning on at operating temperature.
3. restrictions in the cooling system such as sediment build up.

Water pumps usually leak when they are bad, and can cause an overheat because of low coolant level.
Check whether the water pump is leaking after topping off the coolant level and running at operating temperature, and then shutting off the car's engine.

2002 malibu runs hot.

Sounds like you have a faulty head gasket or maybe a cracked head.This can cause overheating and the check engine light to come on.The code for the o2 sensor is probably caused by coolant getting into the exhaust system and coating the sensor.The coolant fan may work but it cannot remove enough heat from the rad to make the engine cool off.Try some engine coolant stop leak to see if it will help.This maybe only a temperary fix.Let me know if you need more.MOE

Overheated and there is a leak from the Y connector where the little screw is. can yo tell me what may be causing overheat? where i may locate the thermostat?

the leak is your obvious problem, if there is no coolant the the engine will over heat.
engine coolant's main job is to cool your engine.
these models have problem with the heater pipe leaking. you must get it from the dealer.
follow the upper hose way the radiator and you will find the thermostat housing

Losing coolant

if there are no leaks for sure and you are consuming coolant, you make look into the possibilty of a blown headgasket. esp. if it has overheated in the past.
