My car started to overheat so I checked coolant added some and ran to the store. I noticed smoke coming from under the hood and looked under the hood and heard the coolant boiling and coolant coming out from the area in the picture. Could someone tell me what this is and why is the coolant squirting out from this area?

Good afternoon.

That is an adapter of the upper hose to the upper intake unit. Common area of leaking. I would take this to the dealer, the picture, that is, to the parts department to get the part. It warps over time from heating and cooling and then starts to leak.

What engine? Is this a convertible?

2005 Chrysler Sebring 61K miles 3.7 - Has an overheating problem, boiling water out of the coolant recovery tank but lower radiator house is cold to the touch. Tried replacing the thermostat, but still have the problem. Does not appear to be a head gasket, engine runs fine and fans seem to be working OK. Could it be water pump? No signs of water in the oil or leakage from the weeping hole. At a loss on this one. Any suggestions?

I got the heads replaced on my car less than 3 months ago. Ever since I have had a problem with the overflow bubbling. Took it back to the same guy who done it and he charged me $150 and did not check the heads when I told him there was a problem and had this problem since he replaced them. Put in a new thermostat and o2 sensor. Before taking it back to him it was constantly loosing antifreeze now it not loosing it but still bubbling. I am at a loss of what could be wrong any idea?

There is a quick test to see if you have a problem. That involves drawing air from the radiator, while the engine is running, through a glass cylinder with two chambers partially-filled with a special dark blue liquid. If combustion gases are leaking into the cooling system, that liquid will quickly turn bright yellow. You may need to have a different shop do that, but with the results written on the repair order, you should be able to insist the head gaskets be replaced again at the first shop.

When you turn air on, AC radiator gets hot and passes this hot air thru coolant radiator canceling some of the cooling effect. If system is on the verge of overheat this will cause it to do so. If your engine is running too lean a mixture this will also contribute to easy overheat. This can also cause stalling.

Hello,
I live in New Jersey and my car overheated and stopped on the highway. I called AAA and had it towed to the mechanic. He replaced the radiator and the hose that goes to the engine. With this service plus 2 new all-weather tires installed, I paid almost $900.00. Is this about right, I think it's a little too much?
After I picked up the car, I drove the car home and took my son to soccer practice. On the way back from soccer the car started shaking, making noise and when I pressed the gas it would not accelerate. When I got home I parked it and noticed a smell coming from the engine like it was hot or something? I really appreciate your comments and please let me know if you have questions.

Regards,
Lou
