I have a ford windstar van. Its trying to run hot. I check and add water eveyday but con not locate where its leaking from. The problem started when I turned on the heate for the first time this fall It worked fine then but now no heat but the temp gauge is showing above normal. Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.

Hi:
If the engine is running hot, the t-stat may not be opening far enough to get proper curculation to the heater core. Make sure the coolant is full. Also, check the engine oil to make sure you coolant is making its way there.
