Q: I want to replace the upper and lower hoses and thermostat

asked by on October 28, 2016

The vehicle overheated and I replaced the coolant then notice a leak under the reservoir but did not see where exactly the leak originated from. Yesterday I was running the car hard, speeding but had no issues. Today the temperature dropped to 35% degrees and I turned on the heater and turned the fan to maximum level. The the red indicator light went on. I then put coolant in the reservoir which was empty. After put one gallon tried to continue my trip a few minutes later it repeated the issue. At this time I noticed the leak under the reservoir but I was looking under the car.

My car has 16000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
