Engine Cooling problem
1997 Dodge Neon 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 200+k miles
Engine is running hot every few days. Radiator fan is working but I don't have an ac so I quess the condender fan isn't. Have never noticed it running. Replaced radiator cap supports 16 psi and thermostat. After I notice it starts running hot and leaking water I can't find where it is leaking from? I don't know if it is coming out of the reservoir or some where else? When running the engine with radiator cap off air is bubbling in the coolant? Is this a sign of a blown head gasket, cracked head or is it just air traped in the system? No coolant in oil or visa versa. Slight wetish mist coming out of tailpipe and just a little whitish smoke. Any advice on what I could try next would be greatly appreciated. I don't have enough money to take it to a repair shop and this is my only vehicle. Thanks!!
