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.

What is wrong if your 1997 pathfinder dash display says overdrive off?

Usually means the over drive has been turned off. There should be a button usually on the gear shifter. On the column it is on the end of the shifter. Usually it resets when the engine has been turned off. This is something that you usually have to intentially do. If there is a problem with it then that could be also, but usually a check engine light comes on with it. Hope this helps.
