Q: Overheating
My van is overheating as I drive, there is also cold air blowing from the vents when the heater is on. I've noticed fluid puddles under the engine in my driveway. I have had it inspected and have had replaced/repaired; thermostat (x2), fan assembly, cold plug?, flushed multiple times. I am told there are no leaks and it should run fine, but it isn't. They say they can find no other issues.
My car has 125000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
