Engine Cooling problem
1995 Honda Civic 6 cyl Automatic

car never ran hot before. Anti freeze was put into the resevoir lastnight. Car was hissing after driving for about 20 min. Steam coming from under hood. This morning I drove the car for all of ten min before the needle read just below hot. I could hear the radiator hissing. I pulled off the road and thats where my poor honda sits...Somebody please tell me this is just something as simple as replacing the thermostat. ???

if you hear hissing, you most likely have a leak somewhere. Do a visual inspection of the cap and radiator area (if that's where you hear it coming from).
