Default Just wanna make sure...

Ok if my car overheats, and my top rad hose is really hot and bottom one is just not eve n warm this means i need new water pump right?

Also my car smokes alot, All the oil is gone now..No leaks on drive way or on the rear of the car. Burning up in the engine?

White, black or blue smoke?

Try checking the thermostat before you go into a labor extensive water pump replacement. a malfuntioning themostat can cause the symptoms you've decribed

white=oil mixing w/ water (in most cases blown head gasket due to overheating a lot)
blue=burning oil
black=running rich aka dumping fuel.


just have a friend behind you and if you want to see smoke either go in freeway and downshift and redline and shift or 1st gear at like 5000 rpm just punch it and shift and you should see the smoke come out.
