Why is your car is running hot and leaking water?

Answer 1

AnswerIt's running hot because it is leaking coolant. Find where it is leaking and repair. If it is leaking at the water pump, replace the pump. AnswerYou may have a problem with the cylinder head gasket. If you have an empty radiator and it all goes out of the exhaust, the problem will be here. The solution is to get a new head gasket to replace the old one and probably to have the head skimmed as well. - your first and most important step is to determine where the water is leaking from. -If, as Clay suggested, it is coming from the waterpump then water is usually obvious, near the front of the engine, -on the other hand, if water is dripping from the exhaust at idle, on a normal day, then look further than the water pump.
