we went to pick up the mustang today. we drove all to within 5 minutes of the house and when we hit a light the engine started to overheat so we pulled into the gas station and heard a pop. when we opened the hood there was coolant everywhere. whats wrong could i have blown the engine.

did you check the hoses? The radiator could have blew, maybe a head gasket blew out.

Oh i forgot, didn't you say there was a crack in the manifold? If so, maybe that busted.

there did appear to be a problem with a metal strapping on the radiator. it had like popped off.

6mustang6

yeah, maybe the radiator blew out on you. It still runs right? Did you get it home?

tylerdru

we came home without it. we are going to get in about 30 minutes. do you think we could drive it the rest of the way? it is about 3 miles away.

Take a some water with you, and fill up the radiator. dont worry about the leaks til you get home. It should be ok for the drive. Then with it home, start looking to see where it is leaking. Good Luck, tell us when you get it.

tylerdru

ill be going to pick to pick it up in about thirty minutes. we will see

tylerdru

we got it home. it is the radiator. the radiator was brand new can we fix it in any way

Where is it leaking from? Most likely you can have it repaired by a shop, especially if it is brand new.
