If you can find it at your local auto parts store, pick up some UV coolant dye and allow it to circulate... Four Seasons and other manufacturers sell them in kits that include the funky CSI-style glasses and UV light. Could be alot of things... intake manifold or head gaskets, fittings ON the intake/throttle body, heater hoses towards the back of the motor, coolant bypass hoses, improperly secured clamps, heater pipes (should be a couple of metal pipes that ultimately connect to the heater core, near the HVAC box... especially in colder climates, these are liable to fail) or the heater core itself. Take it slow and diagnose it as best as you can... that's a might expensive repair bill already for alot of parts that didn't need to be touched.

Why would the radiator fan continue to run after the engine stops after the thermostat was replaced on a 2002 Nissan Altima?
Ingeneral, the fan will run only if the temperature of the radiator is above the normal range. If the fan is running, then the radiator must be over temp unless the radiator fan thermostat or it's relay is defective. If the radiator truly is over temp then you have a larger over-heating problem You state the thermostat was replaced. if you replaced the fan thermostat then either the radiator really is over temp and it is doing what it should, or there is a problem with the thermostat-fan relay or switch. If you replaced the engine thermostat that controls the flow of coolent between the engine and the radiator, then that probably wasn't your problem and you should look elsewhere for an overheating cause. I would start by determining if the engine actually is overheating or not. If it is, I would look for coolent system problems like the engine thermostat (if you didn't replace it already), water pump, leaks, scale build up in the radiator, or blockages in the system. If the engine isn't overheating then I would consentrate on the fan, fan thermostat and relays.
