Engine getting very hot, steam coming out but no leaks any where to be seen. Theromostat replaced as it was sticking but still issue. Does not happen all the time. Help!

Thank you for your response of my 2004 chysler pacifica heating and cooling issue's! What does that mean if its a internal leak? Is it water pump?

Thank you

Inernal leaks are like a head gasket/intake (most common) but could be other things like block or head crack which I don't think is the case here. Also check radiator with fans disabled. Check for cold spots as it should be warm/hot all over is cold spots radiator is bad.
