Do not operate the washer. Remove the washer fluid reservoir and flush it with soap and water until all traces of antifreeze is gone.
There is no cap on the radiator; instead, the coolant reservoir is pressurized along with the rest of the cooling system. Look on the passenger side, under the hood. You should see the windshield washer reservoir AND the coolant reservoir. Be careful with the lid of the coolant reservoir. If the engine is hot, it will blow off in your face.
A hot radiator releases excess coolant through the spring-loaded cap in to the reservoir, and when cooled the partial vacuum created by cooled radiator pulls it back in. A reservoir should be only about 1/4 full cold on a system that uses a radiator cap, some cars have a pressurized cap on reservoir and no cap on radiator
My guess is that it should pur itself but double check with a parts store.
you have to remove the plastic cover under the fender, after you should be able to figure it out. it's very simple.
It should be attached to the radiator.
Change oil and filter
Not necessarily! Let it cool down then check the radiator water level and the water overflow reservoir tank. In a properly operating system the reservoir adds water as needed to the radiator when it cools down after you quit driving. #1. The radiator should be full of water and the reservoir tank should be 3/4 full of water. #2. At a certain temperature or with the "AC on" the radiator fan(s) should be sucking air over the radiator and cooling coils. So! Fill the radiator and the reservoir and when it overheats in idle see if the fans behind the radiator are operating.
should be the same reservoir as the front windshield wipers
should be near the windshield on the passenger side as i recall .. near the back of the hood where its hard to get at
When the engine is cold it should be up to the cold fill mark
The 'horseshoe' is a depiction of a reservoir, probably your wiper reservoir, but possibly your radiator reservoir, which should be about half-full when cold.
first you have to remove the reservoir for the windshield washer fluid then you should be able to get at it. its right underneath that reservoir. atleast that is where it is on mine
