My tempature gauge kept reading hot and the check gauges light is always on. Today when I came in my driveway my car smelled like burning coolant and there was steam/smoke coming out from under my hood. I let the car cool down and looked for leaks and nearly the whold under side of my car is wet with coolant but I can't find a leak. How do I find the leak? What should I do?

Hi there,

I think i may of already replied to this question, but if not... I would have the cooling system pressure tested as this will show up any external coolant leaks, also make suer the pressure cap is also tested.
