Overheating and antifreeze is leaking

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

The first thing you need to do is locate the leak. If the coolant is getting low, it will cause it to overheat. Take a look through these links.

Now, the easiest way to find a leak is by performing a pressure test. You will need a pressure tool to do it. Most parts stores will lend or rent one to you. Here is a link that shows how to perform that test:

The reason I recommend locating the leak first is simply because it could be something as simple as a loose hose. On the other hand, a bad water pump can leak too.

If you are concerned about a possible head gasket issue, here is a link that shows how one is tested. You can do this at home.

Do these things and let me know the results. Once we determine where the leak is, I can direct you through a repair.

Take care and let me know.
