So today notice the car is running hot as I am getting home, smell
antifreeze and in the driveway notice smoke but that was from the antifreeze pouring out of the front of the car and hitting the hot engine. There was antifreeze pouring out of the front of the car, any ideas? Broken hose? Water pump? what do you think? |

When it cools, feel all the hoses for hardness, softness, bulges and holes. They usually fail near an end. Mike |
