Hello, I have A 98 Plymouth Neon Highline with a 2.0 litre engine and it's 4 cylinder. It has about 146,000 kms on it. I actually have two problems that I need answers to and if anyone could help PLEASE do!

1) A couple of weeks ago my car over heated so I pulled off the road and let it cool for abit(turned everything off and shut er down!Lol) I got out and noticed that my car was peeing antifreeze from near the radiator but it wasn't my rad. Leaking. So I let it cool while I called my friend. When he got there we tried filling it back up and it held the antifreeze just fine, no leaking or over-heating? Since then, at least once a week now it ikes to repeat this process. Any ideas?

2) While i'm driving my car seems to tug backwards as if i'm lightly tapping the brake here and there. Lately it's been getting worse and has short little bursts of around 5-8 tugs at a time. Any ideas?

Please give me any info. You can cause I need this fixed! Thank you! :D

Hi, I have a 98 Plymouth Neon, with 60,000 miles. I was wondering if your spark plugs were crusty?

Also, is this a good indicator of a blown headgasket?
My antifreeze seems to disappear. I add it to the overflow tank, to the fill line and then the car starts beeping after about 10 minutes of driving and the temp gage shoots up. I check and there is no antifreeze in the overflow, but none is leaking anywhere that I can see.

I have been told that it is the water pump, the timing belt, but I have a sinking feeling that it's the headgasket.
