Overheating no fliud leaks - 2007 Saturn Sky Red Line Convertible

if you meant to say why instead of were then........
there is tubing inside the radiator where the fluid circulates to cool it.
leaks would normally leak from the in and out connectors at the radiator pan.

PERFORM AN ELIMINATION OF ENGINE FLIUD CONTAINERS TO ACQUIRE THE TRANSMISION CHAMBER

The vehicle should only have an engine oil compartment, radiation compartment for antifreeze/ water, power steering fliuds, a water wiper blade spray dispenser compartment, and finally the transmittion fliud container area all situted within the engine entrapment area. Usually, opening the engine for the first time would require observing the fliud compartments that are identifyable from the remaining engine chambers. Observing closely on the fliud container should have written descriptions of what is expected within compartment. For example, the water fliud containers for wiper blades would usually have written lables as wiper blade fliud container, radiantion container would usually have the antifreeze demarkation logos visibly observable when engine is opened. Rely by elimination methods to ascertain the transmission fliud compartment. For example, once antifreze container, wiper water container, engine oild container, power steering fliud containers have been identified, the most like only remaining in the engine would be the transmition fliud compartment. Alternately, every fliud container within the vehicle engine is situated at separate areas. For example, the only fliud container closest to the transmittion chamber is the engine oil compartment. The vehicles usually require more engine oil than transmission fliud. Between both fliud containers, the smallest chamber for fliud oil is usually for transmission perposes in the absence of hydraulic fliud compartments with newer vehicles.

Usually observing the dripped fluid on the ground as first encounter to acquire if is gasoline leak or oil leakage. A gasoline leakage should have been caused due to overpump at the gas station. Second, a leak from the engine if is antifreeze overflow because of over filling the hydrant with water causes overflow when AC is turned on for the first time. Third, the engine oil would dispense when too much was put in container. The reason is as vehicle precaustion, else the car would not start due to too much oil lubricant. Perform a vehicles fliud levels inpsection to acquire if any require refill due to the leakage. Alternatively, if any requires reducing for example, a mechanic would determine how to dispense the old fliuds in replacement of new oils. The vehicle should perform better. Usually changing fliuds causes efffecient engine performance,least heating, AC cooling capacity, and least polutant generation like air or gasoline leakages.

Need more info.. how did your husband stop the leak? Could be air in the lines and the brakes need to be bled.

no fliud in res. or radiator will make it do this ,,, ther e is a major leak some where,, while vehcle is cold ,, put water in rad. or resivour,, look under and see if it is pouring out ,, could be a hose ,, radiator,,, head gasket ,,, then find out where ,, 90's and up vehicles. require a trained tech. to service ,, call for tow and go to a ASE .based shop

Need a new electric fan.

its a blown head gasket 100% sure of it!!

Is the fliud a lite clear brown/tan (brake fliud) or is it a dark black colour (gear oil)? It sounds like you have a brake fluid leak. Check your steel line on the rear axle and then remove the wheel and drum and check the wheel cylinder. Top up your Master cylinder and bleed the brakes. You might find the light scrubbing noise gone.

Hi, It seems to me all the problems with this tranny are electrical related, that tranny has about four solonoids, for shifting, line pressure, etc, I would have it scanned for trouble codes, I have the same van but am having trouble with hard shifting, also soloniod problem. hope this helps.

you shouldn't be loosing any coolant. if you are you have a leak somewhere
