Hey, My car will run perfectly for about 15 minutes then it gets hot and starts to leak anti-freeze from behind the engine, its leaking onto my ehausht pipe causing steam. I have changed the radiator, cap, thermostat, water pump, timing belt and oil and it still overheats. The fans come on and work properly, What else could it be please help!!!!!!! Thanks

Check if its coming from the heater hose or a freeze plug its gonna continue to overheat till you fix the leak.

Hey thanks for the advice, i replaced the heater hoses, they were leaking, my car still runs hot, but doesnt leak. It only runs hot when sitting still at stop sign or stop light but while driving temperature is normal. What could this be?
