I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer. Yesterday I was driving and it started to make a clicking noise while accelerating and the temp gauge went all the way hot so I was going to pull over when I lost all power and it started to smoke. The service engine light came on and wee put more water in and the light went off. It drove fine today until I was getting closer to home it got a bit past 210. We checked the water and it was empty and we put more and it just leaked straight out. We put a new radiator in and the water and coolant just leaked straight out. What should I do?

 

Leaked straight out where? Is there water on the ground? How much water is required to fill the system back up?

Does this happen at rest or only when the vehicle is running?

It just comes out the bottom onto the ground and I’m not 100% sure how much water it requires. It leaks at rest and while running

 

I assume that your already looking from the top of the engine compartment so the leak is not up high enough to see. I would say then that its either the lower radiator hose, one of the hoses to the water pump or a freeze plug has let go. You just need to get under there while someone fills it up and find out where its leaking. A leak that bad should be pretty easy to spot.

Thank you!
