maybe you need to change your fluid to a better mix

odds are its your water pump though. when water pumps go youll generally see them leak out the weaping holes. the result is a small puddle under your cars driver side close to the tire.

you can try testing the thermo but my money is on the water pump

bro, are you pinoy?

check the thermostat.. if you're in the philippines, just remove it.. you wont be needing it since we dont have "cold starts" in the philippines.. my civic used to overheat and it turns out the my thermostat's busted and stops the circulation of water..

 

sqeeze the hose that runs from the radiator to the thermostat close to the thermostat a few time rapidly and see if you can hear the thermostat ingaging youll hear a lil clicking sound and then if you do hear the sound then it will obviously be your water pump
