Re: The overheated thread
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

Re: The overheated thread
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.

Re: The overheated thread
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.

Re: The overheated thread
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.

Re: The overheated thread

Re: The overheated thread
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.

Re: The overheated thread
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.
