I have a 1988 2.3L automatic Turbo Coupe.
My overflow bottle looked pretty low, so I added some premixed coolant. First time I did this.
A bit later, I noticed my car leaking coolant which looked like it was coming from rear of engine (like straight under the back of engine.
I also noticed my temp zone went into red zone.
So...
For starters, I"m going to change out my thermostat.
However, is there an overflow line on back of engine are? I am getting hot air, so I think my heater core is ok?
Any idears as to why this thing was leaking? I have really driven this car much in the last 2 years, I"m thinking just the thermostat was bad?
