Hi there,

After a bout of over heating you can suffer a head problem, no saying that it is just yet. Check for external leaks, a cooling system pressure test will show up any. Check that the thermostat is working =, also the cooling fan is turning on when it is up to temp. You can get a blocked radiator after an over heating problem as well, as the coolant boils It can stir up all the sediment that has settled in the block and deposit it in the radiator core, finally if the car is running rough, excessive steam from the exhaust, spark plugs that show a dirty brown colour, time to check for that head problem.
