Do you overheat?

Check the drain for the A/C. Probably stopped up.

no I dont overheat, I just thought it would lead up to something such as overheating. as for the drain for the A/C, where is that?

Does it sound like ssshhhhhhhhh or something like that lol? And after the first big one by turning it on and off it gets less and less? If so that is normal.

Sounds like bleeding off sord of. Not water its your AC if this theory is correct of course

yeah it does make a sssshhhhh sound. but the sound Im talking about actully sounds like running water but only for a second then goes away.

I just wanted to add that when my DSM was overheating without the fans turning on, i checked the connectors and contacts of the cooling system for dirt/corrosion and cleaned them (i sanded them, with a file, dremel finishing brush and 1000grit paper). This alleviated my overheating problem.

Hey, new here. I have a '98 Eclipse GTS and it's been leaking water/coolant from the exhaust manifold. It's not the head and it's not the water pump.

If it's leaking from the manifold it has to be the head gasket or a warped head. Either that or you don't have something hooked up right or something else is leaking.

It's leaking from the two bolts that connect the exhaust under the manifold. It's not the head because the runs fine other than the water leaking out. There's no water in the oil and no oily water on the spark plugs.

I can't seem to find anything on this in the haynes manual either.

Wow this thread is old.. Please dont bring up threads that are this old. You should have just made a new one with your problem in it.

Anyways, I wasn't awhere that there was an eclipse gts..
Your turbo has water lines that go to it, check those to make sure they aren't leaking. One of the lines could have a small crack in it.

It was stickied so I figured I'd use it.

Yep they make them, and this car hauls major ass...

Thanx for the tip.

haha Dude I was being sacastic. They dont make a gts, you had the letters backwards. GST

Stop dirtying up my thread bitches

Make a new thread in the right place. It's okay to bring up old threads if you have something useful to contribute.

I have some usefull information to contribute to this thread.

Awhile back my car would keep pushing coolant out the overflow bottle under boost. The car would run fine babying it but as soon as I got into it would completly empty the coolant system and replace it with air. I thought it might have been the headgasket so I replaced it and did everything else I could think of. It turnt out to be a bad water pump/water pump seal. So if you come across this same problem this could be the answer for you.

MazdaX · 09-10-2007, 06:00 PM

Lets not forget the old air lock problem as well.

basically - system runs out of coolant , refill , somehow still over heats but no water vanishing and running through the coolant channels/hoses like a sloshy river - large air pocket somewhere stuck in coolant system = over heat , well not exactly always overheat but will run hotter and sometimes over heat but more a common problem with v-6's , v-8's , etc not so much the 4.
