Coolant problem
So I just got back my 97 auto turbo max from the shop that did the work, I have a problem with the radiator.
Namely, the engine temp. gauge was showing the car overheating, I pulled over to check out what was going on. The overflow tank is filled up to the brim. After letting the car cool, I check under the radiator cap. Don't see any fluid. Luckily, had some with me. Add some, back on my way.
Didn't feel comfortable with the situation, so I decided to siphon out some of the coolant that went into the overlow so it's lined proper to the "Max" level. Check the fluid level in the radiator, yep, it's still good and to the top. Added a NISMO radiator cap rated at 1.3k instead of the factory 0.9. Thought it would help.
Today, still did the same thing. Car started to overheat, saw all the coolant in the overflow tank again.
What could be the problem? My friend thinks one of my hoses are pinched, I don't think so, I checked and everything seems cool...
