1995 Transam Coolant Weird HELLO
I GOT 1995 TRANSAM CONVRTBLE (AUTO-TRAN)
SOMETHING WEIRD ABOUT COOLANT WATER..
THIS MORNING WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR I USE IT A BIT AGGRESSIVE when i did about 8-10 km i notice my car got a bit hot like UPPER 210 o..
i use it again and use it with agressive style, than i stopped and i see my coolant cover (which is nearer to cars right fender, not bigger one) throwing out water with bubbles...
WHAT MAY BE CAUSE OF THIS??
AND AFTER THAT I FORGET TO CLOSE TIGHT BIGGER COOLANT COVER AND ABOUT 1 KM LATER I NOTICED MY HEATER DOESNT HEAT BUT MY COOLANT LEVEL GETS UPPER 250.. THAN I SEE MY COOLANT COVER AND I THINK THERE WERE NO WATER.. I ADD A BIT THAN FULL IT AT FUEL STATION..
IS THAT MAKE MY ENGINE ANY HARM OR DAMAGE??
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH...IT IS FOREIGN 4 ME..

It sounds like you are just low on coolant. When the engine is cool, open the radiator and fill it up with 50/50 coolant and water. Also make sure the overflow tank on the side is full too. You may have seen the bubbles because you have too much water and not enough coolant in the mixture. You might also need a new radiator cap. Your current one may not be holding enough pressure.
