#114118, "Coolant leak and Overheats (sorta long)"




          

So recently my car began to overheat and I had no idea why. After checking my coolant level I noticed that it was incredibly low, so i added some. After my problem persisted even after adding gallons, yes GALLONS of coolant time after time I just said screw it and parked her.

I took a look at my hoses and the 2 that connect the engine to the radiator are ok, but my heater hose is FUBARed. I started the car after topping off with coolant to see if there were any other noticeable leaks under the car, and low and behold it was just pouring out under my heater hose area and also the passenger side under the timing belt area, just great.

White smoke at idle and (with radiator cap off) coolant bubbling up where you pour coolant in (not overflow), woo hoo! So, my question to you all is, what can I do to be the gentlest on my wallet and what exactly should I do? TIA!
