Hi my car keeps overheating, when I took the cap off it boiled over but I think was because the car had only just stopped running. I did notice though that the water that was coming out of it was a reddy colour. Also now the car is at a stand still it is leaking. I have made sure there is water in it and the oil level is fine to. What could be the problem?

Could be the thermostat, clogged radiator or a head gasket failing from the overheating

Someone has just told me to check if there is yellow sludge in the oil and if so it was the head gasket I have just looked now and the oil seems fine. What do I do for a clogged radiator?

It would have to be removed and power flushed

I have just been out to it again and I have noticed that the part you put water in is empty again
