Does the engine run poorly and miss? - Blown Head Gasket Does white smoke billow out the tailpipe? - Blown Head Gasket Otherwise it's likely a hose, or another gasket that's leaking. Take it to a mechanic if you can't diagnose it further. Check the radiator for leaks and check the water pump. If coolant is pouring out of the weep holes while running or when you squeeze the hose going to the pump. Then the water pump needs to be replaced.

There could be several reasons. Under normal operation, the vehicle will experience this as the coolant heats up and expands into the over flow. A bad water pump, low level of coolant, as well as a clogged radiator could also cause this problem.

This sounds like bad news. The coolant could be leaking into your engine and mixing with the engine oil, then cooking off. A simple test can tell if there's water in your oil.


How much coolant needs to be drained to change a water pump on a 1999 ford 150 4.6 liter thanks?

The coolant level (in the radiator)needs to be BELOW the bottom of the water pump in order to remove the pump without losing the antifreeze. Since the water pump is almost at the bottom of the rad, you may as well drain it all since it only takes a few minutes to do, and you won't risk losing it all.
