My intrepid ran hot on me a few days ago. My dad was able to replace the thermostat where it was leaking and it fixed the issue there. It is not leaking somewhere near the waterpump and engine block. There isn't any coolant mixed with the oil, but we can't seem to locate where it is leaking from. Any ideas?

i have a 94 and i had the same problem. it turned out to be the intake manifold. theres an inner and an outter with coolant running through them. the gasket between them blew out. i would start there. you have to take the outter manifold off to get a good veiw of the inner

Check your upper coolant housing to see if the glue that holds it together has come unsealed. I had a similar issue. Part is roughly $100 and no fun to replace, good luck =/.
