Ohhh man!! On my way home from work yesterday, at a red light, smoke began to surround my car. It was white smoke, so nothing was burning, but first thing that came to my mind was some old car spitting out exhaust! Then when i peeked at my rearview, it was coming from MY ENGINE! I looked at my thermostat and it was overheating. Luckingly, at that corner was a gas station and so I pulled over.
After some amatuer diagnostic, My car was out of water.
I thought to myself, PHEW! Luckily nothing was burned or damaged permenantly. I procided to refill the water and drove the rest of the 4 miles home. Right when I pulled into my driveway, smoke was coming out again.
With a deep sigh, I crouched down by the rear tires, closed my eyes...hoping that nothing was leaking. To my disappointment, water and radiation fluid was dripping over the concrete.
So, what are some possible problems that I'm facing? I know its not the radiator, since the leak is back by the engine and the leak is right under the watertank. It could be the connection hose from the tank to the raditor, or ....
If anyone else had a problem like this, please feel free to share your story.
We'll sob together! lol!
