I have a 1998 Dodge Stratus with about 98,000 miles on it. I noticed a while ago that sometimes when I would drive it for a while and turn it off, the engiine would make kind of like a gurgling noise. I checked the coolant and noticed it was low so I put some in, thinking it would solve my problem. A few weeks ago though, the over heated engine light came on on my way to work. I put more coolant in and it was fine. I noticed after that though that there was a leak from underneath the car, coming from the lower right side of the engine (if your standing in front of the car). Since then, the gage in the car that informs you of how hot the engine is has been going up and down everytime I drive. One day it will be fine and the next it will be almost all the way up. Usually though it is about half way up. I stoped using the air conditioning so I know that that has nothing to do with it. I also know that it is leaking coolant because the leakage is the same neon green color that the coolant is. Do you have any idea what could be leaking? I'm hoping its just a hose. And it will not be too expensive to fix. Last summer I had to get the transmission replaced for $500. Do you have any idea how much it might cost to get a hose replaced or what else it may be? Thanks, Jessica
