dry everything off, fill it back up and just start it and let it run in the driveway while you watch it. If it's up that high, it's either a heater hose or from the thermostate area. But which it while it heats up and she'll give herself away,
Stopleak is only a temp fix for a bigger problem whatig to bite you if the ass.
: I took my Maverick out yesterday for the first time this year
: (The snow finally melted... just kidding) and after
: a short drive, white smoke was comming out from under the hood.
: This morning, I took a look at the engine compartment and saw radiator fluid
: on the engine and hood and the radiator was just about empty. I filled the
: radiator up and took the car to pick up some stop leak. When I came home,
: the car was really smoking, and when I opened the hood, white smoke was
: comming from under the air cleaner housing. Do I have a major cooling
: system problem or is the carb shot? Is it worth putting the stop leak in?
: TIA.
