two things to look at, #1, radiator cap is faulty, its a cheap fix, $6-7.00 at the auto parts store. The water pump may also be faulty, which will leak fluid from a seep hole under the pump housing. Open the hood, find the fan blade (Be sure car is not started) and the where the fan connects is the water pump. Grab the fan, and move it up and down. If it moves or leaks, then the water pump needs replaced. Also check the heater core to determine if fluid is leaking in the interior. Good Luck your thermostat may stuck in the closed position.
What else can I help you with?
Would a fauly thermostat cause coolant loss?
Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.
Can a head gasket leak without overheating or coolant loss?
It is possible that the gasket could leak between cylinders. The overheating and coolant loss would happen if the gasket was failing around the coolant passages.
What causes overheating in a 2002 Buick Rendezvous?
some general causes: leak in cooling system (including possible blown head gasket) resulting in loss of coolant; defective thermostat
Can a bad thermostat cause coolant loss in 1994 Dodge Caravan?
No.
Your exhaust emits white smoke and drops of water even when engine warms up but no loss of coolant or overheating?
If there is no overheating or loss of coolant, most likely it is due to condensation in the exhaust system (pretty normal in cool or rainy weather).
What might cause a Fiat to overheat?
Bad thermostat, plugged or damaged radiator, loss of coolant, ignition timing is off, faulty water pump, head gasket... and who knows what other problems can cause overheating.
What causes a 1999 jaguar to overheat?
There are many ways that it can overheat. Coolant loss, blown head gasket, stuck thermostat, clogged radiator ar only a few. You would have to consult a mechanic to know for sure why it is overheating.
Can a car overheat when the water system is leaking?
If by water you mean engine coolant, yes. Loss of coolant, antifreeze, is a major cause of overheating.

What causes loss of coolant and overheating in a 2000 Chevy impala?
Can be leaking intake manifold gaskets, which can sometimes be fixed by using Dexcool coolant. Can also be a head gasket.
What triggers your car to not blow heat?
The thermostat is stuck, or the engine coolant level is too low to circulate properly. In either case, have it looked after immediately before you cause serious engine damage.The thermostat is a valve that opens to allow coolant circulation around the engine when the temperature of the coolant has reached the normal operating temperature of the engine. Once the thermostat opens, it allows circulation of the hot coolant through the radiator and also through the heater core which heats the interior of the vehicle.If it opens too early, the engine runs too cool and will not be as efficient. This could also cause considerable wear on moving componenets designed to fit properly at a higher temperature.If it opens too late, overheating will occur, resulting in excess wear for essentially the same reason.If it does not open at all, the result can be extreme overheating resulting in a blown head gasket, complete coolant loss and a seized engine. These are extremely costly repairs.Have the problem looked at before it reaches this point.
