I dont own a third gen. This is how i would go about it. Let her cool.down.some, not all the way since your going to start her again. Once she is warming up again be looking under the car to isolate leak. Gl.

System probably just needs to be burped if you've flushed the coolant recently, grab a lisle funnel from your local parts store and use it. The belching coolant from the passenger side is probably from the overflow tank. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Did you actually see on the gauge that it over heated or are you just assuming that because coolant was leaking?
If it didn't actually overheat, your overflow reservoir may be too full. This happened to me once and it took me a little while to realize it. |
i checked all of the lines an there is no leak if there was id see or hear it. I did however buy a new thermostat im putting that in tomorrow so well see how that turns out. Thanks for the help

My car did a similar thing the overflow would overfolw. It ended up beins the coolant hose from the ast to overflow bottle was bad. No physical signs of damage so I thing the hose was just old and when the car wiuld try and suck coolant back in the hose would collapse internally preventing coolant from being sucked back into the motor.
Even if there is no physicall leak, replace old hoses as they could still be damaged |
ok sounds good other then that is there a detailed explenation on how to change the thermostat?
