You shouldn't feel the radiator up or the condenser will get jealous. But seriously, you'll need to get back ther to see what you've got with a light. Follow the heater hoses back for starters. I would be suspicious of a soft plug, especially if the cooling system wasn't flushed on a scheduled basis. -------------------------------------------- The intake manifolds are bad about leaking. If that is the case the use an improved set. It is a little more expensive but well worth the investment.
Yes, a restricted or leaking radiator can cause the engine to overheat.
Does it have 2 lines coming from the top of the oil filter, and going to the radiator. If so that is the oil cooler. You need to replace the RADIATOR Those 2 lines go into the radiator so it can cool the oil, and the tubes are leaking oil into the coolant.
No, it can't but stay posted, by Thursday or Friday I will know the answer. I work at the dealership
Yes it will.
broken engine gasket.
Yes, if the radiator is clogged and the engine overheats. The main cause of head gasket failure is the engine overheating.
Yes, if the radiator fan is not working, it can cause overheating of the engine. The radiator fan helps to cool down the engine by pulling air through the radiator to remove heat. Without the fan, the engine may not receive adequate cooling, leading to overheating.
probably
Having a leak in a radiator hose will have no effect on the engine running or not. However, in time the hose leak will cause the level of the coolant in the radiator to drop below a critical level and the engine will overheat.
clogged radiator or bad water pump
No, but it can cause severe engine damage if you keep running the engine.
no oil in engine or water in radiator will cause engine to seriously o/heat! and eventually seize! major engine damage!!
