I was driving my car today and all of a sudden, I started to see smoke from under the hood. While driving the car started stuttering like it wanted to shut down. When I got it home, I smelled coolant coming from under the hood. When I popped the hood there was coolant everywhere. What is the part called that I need and how to replace it? Thanks

Hi,

There are several things that may have failed. For example, the radiator, a radiator hose, a heater hose, and so on.

To get started, take a look through this link and let me know if it helps:

If that doesn't help, add water to the system (to be removed later) and check to see if you can tell where it is leaking from. If you do, take a pic and upload it for me to see so I can direct you to what is needed and how it's done.

Let me know what you find or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
