2002 Dodge Intrepid Automatic 56K miles

I was driving my niece home from daycare a few days ago. When I pulled in to my yard my son comes out the house and says that your car is smoking, so I immeditaly get out the car and grab my niece out aswell. I waited for the car to cool down and opened up the car and there was alot of oil looking liquid all over the engine it was orange colored. I don't know what the problem is but could anyone help out.

Thanks.

You may have to replace the bleeder valve. It is the little black thing with the pecock. As soon as you open your hood its in the front of your engine in plain site. See if there is leakage around it. If so that needs to be replaced. I got mine from napa. It costs around 35 bucks. There are like four screws that hold it in place.

Its leaking like anti-freeze. Its a long tube like thing that goes down throught the engine, and there are 2 screws on each site connecting it together. I can stick my hand in there and there is usually anti-freeze in the the tube like thing.
