ok, it has been leaking coolant. I stopped driving it and have had it parked at our old house for a week. I went there today and the coolant was still leaking even with out starting it. It leaks out very steadily and the reservoir was almost dry. I added water the the engine and with out starting it it took 2 gallons. Well i start it up and the leak worsens as always. It appears to be coming from around the timing chain cover, a head gasket or LIM, which i had changed. I hope to tear into it next week, but i am puzzled by something else right now that makes me not want to touch the car.
The A/C stopped working, it blows air but it never gets cold. It was just recharged. Then i switch to heat with the engine fully heated, nothing, just outside air. I can tell something is changing when i turn the knob. I also noticed that the radiator fan doesn't kick on w/ the ac or when the engine heats up. Could something electrical be messed up or is there somesort of feature that disables these when the cooolant leaks??? I am stumpted as to how so many things went wrong so quickly.
