    What up what up soooo I bought this car about 2 months ago from an auction car was leaking coolant from underneath right side also had a crack radiator. I replaced the radiator figure it would stop the leaking nope no luck I haven't had time to go underneath and check it out. the leak is coming from under the car a plate is blocking it. As I was driving on the freeway my hose blew off in the back tof he engine, the car overheated so I checked out the hose and it seemed to have warped the metal plate that holds it in. So after putting the hose back in the car seems to be riding hotter then usual when i come to a stop it will heat up then go down or stay warmer , o yea on the freeway if I'm coasting the check coolant light comes on if I'm going 65 it goes away

    Could be a lot of things. I'd start with checking to see if the fans are turning on. Also check the LIM gaskets and coolant elbows. Those are both on the passenger side and are known to break.

    I'd start by making sure it actually has enough coolant in it since you said a hose blew off it. After making sure it has enough coolant look at the coolant elbows, belt tensioner and waterpump. When i got my car a couple years ago I also had to replace my radiator and the way your describing it is similar to my issue how if I would go 65 the low coolant light went away, all it was for me was the coolant was actually low
