Best Answer

Overheated engines often cause the head to warp, resulting in a blown headgasket. If the engine blows out the coolant, you have a bad head gasket/warped head. If you're getting coolant in the oil, same thing. If one or two cylinders have very low compression, same thing.

It's not news that anyone wants to hear, but I'd check that first since it's a very common condition after an engine overheats.

What do i do if my 95 cadillac sedan deville is leaking coolant and the heater is only blowing cold air and the thermostat has already been changed and still no heat?

If it is leaking coolant. And you changed the thermostat. I would then move to this section. Flush the radiator and the heater core. This can be done at a certified shop with a reliable mechanic.

Check the radiator for full coolant. Check the engines water pump and thermostat, as the engine coolant carries heat from the engine into the heater core.

What is the Function of a thermostat?

The function of a car thermostat is to ensure that coolant gets to the radiator when it should. It blocks the coolant from reaching the radiator when the radiator is cold, and then lets it flow once it is heated up.

What controls the coolant flow through a radiator?

the thermostat


Would a thermostat set for a higher temperature keep the heater from blowing hot air?

No. The thermostat controls the flow of water through the radiator, not the heating core. Using a thermostat with a higher temperature rating delay the opening of the thermostat (and the flow of water to the radiator) until that higher temperature is reached. This will cause the coolant to run hotter.
