my car's running hot..
well like the title says, my car is running hot a lot
i will fill up with coolant and then in 3-4 weeks it'll be low
but i will park and look for leaks after driving around/filling it up
and i cant find any
it will get to the last white line before 270* and then start cooling down pretty quick
do i need another thermostat?
im thinking of getting one anyways
what is a good thermostat?
and what temp should i get?
160 or 180?

haha you have a leak somewhere man get that checked out if you have to roll up to a shop and ask them how much it will cost just to run a pressure test real quick shouldnt be too much it only takes like 10 min

Check the weep holes on you water pump. Mine would get hot and then cool off really quick. I was losing coolant and couldn't find the leak either until I saw a stream from the hole. Just something to check.

go to autozone and get the coolant system pressure tester that way u can look for the leak while the car is cool so u fdotn burn yourself but im gonna bet its the heater core leaking is the water on the ground on the right hand side

i will look under and if anything
there may be like one drop and
that would be on the left side
i looked at the hose coming from the
bottom of the radiator and it looked
like there was dried up coolant on it..
