You've lost a soft-plug (freeze plug). A very inexpensive part, but on many vehicles replacing it requires removing the engine from the frame or separating the engine from the transmission.

What does coolant temperature sensor do?
Measures the temperature of the water in your engine block, usually right where the water comes in from the radiator.
What could be the hissing sound that comes from under the car when the engine is turned off after a drive?
Could be a leak in a radiator hose, or radiator. ==Answer 2, Another Possibility== It could also be the radiator cap pressure relief valve action which vents coolant and/or coolant vapor to the coolant overflow reservoir/tank when steam is created in the coolant passages in the engine block. When the engine is shut off, the residual heat in the block can cause the additional pressure and/or steam.j3h.
Why is the top radiator hose hotter than the lower Is it normal for the top hose to be two to three times hotter?
The coolant comes from the engine at it's hottest through the top radiator hose, cooling as it goes lower and lower in the radiator until it comes out the bottom radiator hose at it's coolest temperature and back into the engine.

What is low radiator symbol on 2002 cougar?
The check coolant light ( if equipped ) is located between the engine temperature gauge and the tachometer near the bottom . It comes on when the engine coolant reservoir is too low and looks like a box with a radiator on top and has an " X " shaped fan in the box
Where is the thermostast located on a 1997 Honda CR-V?
Look at the radiator. Follow the large coolant hose that comes out of the top of the radiator and follow it down to where it connects to the engine block. The housing that the hose connects to on the engine contains the thermostat.
If you remove the upper radiator hose on a Cherokee Jeep Laredo will something leak from it?
engine coolant willleak from hose if you remove,it. if nothing comes out, then obviously there is not enuff coolant in the system to operate correctly
Could radiator flow cause heating problems on 2000 Chevy blazer?
Probably not. There really is no way to increase the flow in the radiator, but when it decreases the coolant does not get cooled down as quickly thus the coolant gets even hotter. If the flow in the radiator decreases too much you could have an engine over heat which is bad news bears when it comes to the lifetime of your engine.
How do you bleed the air out of a Honda Accord cooling system?
This is one of the simplest jobs you can do on an Accord. You will need a 10mm box-end wrench and a jug of Honda Genuine coolant - accept no substitutes.Turn your heater controls to the full-on setting and pop the hood. Find the upper radiator hose and trace it back to the engine. On the place where it goes in (the thermostat housing) you will find a bleeder nipple. Take the radiator cap off, open the nipple and start pouring coolant into the radiator until a steady stream of fluid comes out of the nipple. Then close it quick, make sure the radiator is full, and put the radiator cap back on.
How do you Drain coolant from 2004 impala radiator?
There is a plastic drain valve on one of the bottom corner's of the radiator (facing engine) open valve and properly catch & dispose of coolant that comes out. You may need to use pliers to loosen drain valve. Tighten by hand.
You have a 1994 Mazda MX3 and it is overheating the smoke comes from the radiator but no coolant gets to the engine and there is no heat inside the car whats wrong?
Sounds like you have a coolant leak. When cold, put a pressure tester (hand pump with fitting to the radiator neck) and see if you can see any coolant leaking. Once found, fix the leak.
What is the problem if when your car is running hot you put coolant in but after driving 10 minutes the coolant goes into the overflow jug?
AnswerHey Shonda==Sometimes the low coolant sensors get coroded and you have to thake them out and clean them. Also make sure you have the radiator full when refilling the system. GoodluckJoeAnswerIt means you've got air in your cooling system, and it's easy to get it out.You need a 12mm deep-well socket on a ratchet and a gallon of Honda-compatible coolant. Turn your heat all the way on, then follow the upper radiator hose to where it goes into the engine. There's a bleeder bolt on top of the part the radiator hose hooks to...it looks a little like a Hershey's Kiss that's made from aluminum. Anyway, loosen that. (Note: do this with the engine cold, 'kay?) Next, remove the radiator cap and start slowly pouring coolant into the radiator. When it comes out the hole in the bleeder bolt, add just a little more then snug down the bleeder bolt. Put the radiator cap back on, and you're done.You might have a bad thermostat. stopping the coolant flow and causing it to flow back in the overflow bottle.
