Engine Cooling problem
1999 Cadillac Deville V8 Automatic

My 1999 Cadillac Deville keeps overheating and leaking coolant. I got my car back from the shop and they told me the coolant leak was "fixed", but a few days later my car was overheating and smoke was coming out from under the hood. Please Help!

there is no way I can tell where its coming from without seeing it, what I can tell you is, you shouldnt drive it, if you drive it, you make sure you have plenty of coolant and you check the level every couple of miles because you can blow a head gasket or crack the block. you have to look carefully to see where its leaking from, it could be the water pump, the heater hoses, the radiator "cock" . freeze plug I dont know because I cannot see it.
