1997 Saturn SL2 My car overheated the other day

When ur car overheated did the temp gauge read into the red or close to it?Also if ur a/c works when u turn it on does the radiator cooling fan come on?Do u have any codes?When ur car overhears th coolant boils out of it. Let me know what u find.

Open the hood start the car turn on the a/c go by the radiator and see if u can hear the fan running or feel the air comming out of the radiator towards the engine. As far as a leak u could have one or u could have a bad cooling fan motor or a bad coolant temp sensor. The most common place for ur model car to leak coolant is the radiator below where the upper radiator hose goes on the tank part where u will see a transmission cooler line screwed in it cracks and leaks. The other place is the water pump.U can see that leak on the passenger side underneath the car dripping of the sub frame. Fill the car up with water check that fan out for me and also look for leaks while it runs pay attenion to temp gauge too. As far as codes if u don't live in California u can go to a parts store like autozone and they will read codes for free. If u find any codes write down the numbers and let me know what they are. Let me know what u find.
