Coolant reservoir is bubbling and smoking.
I have a 2012 maxima S. I noticed my coolant reservoir has been bubbling a few days ago but haven’t thought anything about it. I took her on the freeway for a few hours and on the way back I noticed my temp gauge was almost at H. I didn’t get no warning or anything about my engine being overheated but I noticed my window being foggy. I pulled over. I popped the hood and passenger side of motor (coolant, Power steering, tubes, etc) was super hot to touch. My coolant was bubbling so bad! It looked like it was boiling! It was smoking too! It came from the left side of the coolant tank but it didn’t smell like coolant. It was white smoke. and I waited until my engine was cool enough so I opened the coolant cap and I saw that it was almost empty! I went to buy coolant on a separate car and added the coolant. The temp gauge went back to the middle and I took her back home. On the way back the temp gauge then proceeded to go back up to H but would go back to the middle and up to H and down too. I checked the engine when I got home and it was boiling and smoking too. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? You guys think it’s safe enough to drive to a mechanic to check it out? There’s no smoke coming from the exhaust or the engine. It’s only from the left side of coolant reservoir. I could use some advice or suggestions. I got her recently and I’m in love with her! I hate that it’s happening to her .. please help!
