Heater problem
2006 Ford Explorer Automatic 70000 miles

My question is that my anitfreeze is leaking its going threw about 1 gallon everytime i drive. The radiator and water pump on it is new (5mths old). So far we have changed the thermostat and radiator cap. My heater is also not working when it idels but when i rev the engine up it will start to warm up. The car over heats when i going do the road but as soon as i pull over it cools off. What could this be. Please help

Can you see where the leak is coming from? Also, as far as the heater, something tells me it is still low on coolant even though you think it's full.

If you don't see any leaks, check the engine oil to make sure it isn't mixing with the oil.

Let me know what you find.
