my car has been overheating and it is getting worse. It overheats within 15 min of driving even with water in the radiator. Could this be a leak or other problem?

Hi there,

There are a number of reasons that will cause an over heating problem, coolant leaks internal or external, faulty pressure cap, faulty thermostat, blocked radiator faulty thermo or viscus coupling fans. Have these check and you will find your problem.
