car overheated last week and replaced thermostat thinking that was the problem... dthink to fill antifreeze because overflow was full and stays full. filled up on antifreeze and the car stopped overheating but now is leaking onto driveway and needs to be filled every 2 or three drives to work could this be a blown head gasket or would it be a hose or radiator leak also makes a bubbling or boiling sound after shut off when driven a long distance. today i put the car up on ramps and there was coolant dripping from everywhere in the middle of the car it was thinking it was the heater core so i routed around it and seing if this stops the leak...i heard a spitting sound inside the car before i did this and now i dont?
