Toyota Repair: Excessive coolant loss, coolant loss, coolant leak


Question
The pass Friday our '93 Toyota Camry Le shutdown on the highway, I noticed it was smoking so I opened the radiator cap it was steaming, I noticed also that after putting some more anti-freeze in it was gone the next day, it also makes a click,click,clicking sound frm the engine.

Answer
Possibly a coolant leak, have the cooling system pressure tested to see if there is an external leak, if there is no external leak check for other things like the cooling fans and the radiator, it may be clogged up causing the overheating, it may be necessary to have it checked for a possible blown headgasket, there are a lot of things that can cause this problem.
The clicking noise could indicate that the engine may have seized up it depends on how hot it got or it may just need a new starter, see if the engine can be turned over by hand to eliminate the possibility of a seized up engine, if the engine can be rotated by hand replace the starter.
