Engine Cooling problem
1966 Ford Mustang V8 Automatic

I had a wreck with my mustang. I ran into the back of a truck. They replaced the raditaor and the water pump and my car gets really hot. It is leaking radiator fluid from somewhere. It is hard for me to drive and sit at stoplights for I'm afraid it will overheat. It does get extremely hot but it has never overhaeted. I am out of things to try and no one believes me that it does what I say. What should I do?

check to see that the fan is operating in front of the radiator (if equipped). if it's leaking coolant than the source of the leak must be tracked down and repaired so you will have to visually inspect the cooling system to find the leak.
