We bought this van just a month ago and seemed to be working fine, yesterday we were going to take about an hour drive (it was about 90 degrees outside) and after 20 minutes or so, the hose connecting to the radiator blew off of it and sprayed just about everything under the hood.
Seems after replugging it in, it was starting ok but now within a few minutes of driving, it will overheat. I checked the coolant and it was WAY over what it should be so I took some out to put it back within the lines. Also if I try to start it while it's still very warm, it will start for a second then stop. From what I read around, it may be a blown head gasket.
Any idea of suggestion is welcome and thank you!
