Low on coolant, radiator fan inoperative, thermostat failed, water pump failed, radiator plugged, etc
Low coolant? Thermostat not opening? Water pump not circulating coolant? cooling fan not working? System air bound? Radiator plugged or restricted? Defective radiator cap?
no belt, low coolant, failed water pump,
Typically this is the heater core bypass tube. Takes warmer block coolant to heater core for faster cabin warm up.
You could have a bad water pump causing no coolant flow, inoperable radiator fans, a coolant leak,............
on any car it is usually the thermostat. or low coolant level. if level is check radiator cap it may be loose or defective. but if it is dripping coolant from under engine it is your water pump. check under your car after about 10 minutes or so after you have parked if their is coolant or if you smell coolant under the hood after you park it most likely a water pump. Do not try to drive while it is over heated it will cost you a lot of money in damage.
