I have a question..I have a 91' Chevy Cavalier that I just purchased not to long ago and I am already having problems:
Main Problem:
Everytime I start the car it starts jerking, unless it is driven for a certain amount of time, then the radio and winshield wipers wont work until the car heats up (I guess) then I can turn the car off and restart it and they will work. But my main problem is everytime I drive antifreeze leaks out of my car and causes the temperature gauge to go all the way over. I got a hose (dont know which one) changed and it still leaked. I got some radiator stuff to try and plug it if there was a hole inside and it worked for a few days then i was driving and the temp went up and the hood started smoking. Someone looked at it and sd it wasnt leaking from the radiator hose (or whatever) ..but it is a hole somewhere under the hood and it leaks after being driven.
Question:
Could anyone suggest what I should do or might know where the leak is coming from? Is this a water pump or thermostat problem?
You will need to have the system pressure tested to find the source of the leak

I found out my mats are getting soaked on the passenger side...I think the water or coolant (whatever) is leaking to the inside. What does that sound like?
Coolant Leaking Out!
