well it started to smoke again when i got home with it the other day
i thought something could be wrong this time so i brought it back into the auto shop in my school and checked the antifreeze becuz there random heat
the resivoir was bone dry from wat i could c of it
so i got more coolant and put it in
well the last few days we have had to keep adding more antifreeze and now there is a leak tat is coming from it
i took it to the shop again and 3 of us believed tat it was leakin from the thermostat so i replaced that and put a lil bit of water into it becuz i was out of antifreeze
now tat it is replaced there is still a leak so i dont think it is from there nemore
does ne one have ne clue wat could be wrong
i dont want to spend more money on things tat wont fix the problem
thanks

Look things over good cold and hot.
Places to look are front and rear intake gaskets.
Heater core and heater hoses wherethey go into engine.
Water pump and water pump weap hole and rad hoses and also rad.
Look on top side of engine then craw underside and look up.
Also check freeze plugs.
On hard to find leaks run a pressure test cold and warm and hot.
Also on real hard to find leaks they make a dye you can put in coolant and put a special light on it to find leak.
And make sure no coolant is in the engine oil.
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
