(I have been going to my school's shop for the first few times for this.)First I went in to get the heater looked at because it was not blowing out hot air, just cool air. So when I took it in, they changed the thermostat and it worked at first but then it went back to cool air after 20 min of driving it. Then I brought it back in and they then flushed the heater core. When I took the car back after that I noticed a leaking but didnt think too much of it. So when I was driving it home, my car started to overheat, when I pulled into my garage the hood of the car started smoking like CRAZY and I noticed there was a HUGE leak of coolant everywhere. Then, I brought it back in, and they said that I have to bring it into a mechanic to get the Inlet tube and outlet tube replaced because the tubes were really rusted. So now I have to take it in, and hopefully they can fix it not for a SUPER large expense.
