Dodge Repair: Dodge Neon 1997, dodge neon 1997, dodge neon


Question
Since three days I found under the car a spot looking green. Today after I park the car in 5 minutes looks like I lost all the cooling liquid. Looking under, drops on the driver side under the radiators. I fill up the radiator with water but ... no leaks. Any direction in what to look for?
Thanks.

Answer
Driver's side of the car would tell me maybe a radiator or heater lines.  The heater lines run from the passenger side to the driver's side on the front, cross the engine and then go to the firewall about middle of the car.

The water pump, radiator cap, and overflow tank are all passenger side.

Could be headgasket but most of the time the neon's leak oil first, mix oil and coolant next and finally leak both externally.

You need to have this thing pressure tested before you overheat it regardless of the "most likely" scenarios described above.
