On the way to school today my car started smoking so i looked at it and it was anti freeze big puddle under the car. This last week when in idle either nuetral or park it would jump 1k to 2k rpms. so im wondering if this is part of the same problem. my guess is its coming out of the intake manifold. if i pour water in there to get home is this ok? Do i have to mess with breather valve or what not?

 

is it overheating?

 

i would suggest to go to the nearest auto parts store and grab it or pour water if there isnt any auto store around..

 

not overheating as of now but i can only guess it will eventually

 

Run water in it until you get home. Keep extra water in your car. If it starts to overheat, pour more in. When you get home either drain it or wait for it to drain itself. Then fix it.

 

Could it be the antifreeze reserve tank? - if you were pushing it hard?

 

I had a prob similar to this, but i wasnt getting massive puddles all the time. Mine started with a leaky hose that goes from the block to the top of the radiator.

When i would drive on the highway and sometimes i would see a little smoke commin from under the hood. I went to investigate and it looked like a hose had a small leak and was spraying coolant everywhere.


When i figured out what the prob was it turned out i needed to replace the top radiator hose and I also foudn out that my radiator was cracked right around where the hose connects.


I suggest u find out where the leak is comming from and fix it before you do any more serious driving. Drive it home or a place u can leave it and leave it until u can fix it.
