I'm having a problem (actually several) with my 2006 V6 belching out steam.
The water pump was leaking so I replaced it. Ran it for 40+ minutes in the driveway, no problem. The electric fan ran fine too.
I Took it for a short 8 block spin and it started to belch steam from almost everywhere and the fan now never comes on, seeming oblivious to distress elsewhere .
The hoses are good, and I replaced the hose clamps but much steam is coming from a fitting in the thermostat housing. Is that housing plastic?
Also the radiator seems to be leaking, well at least it too is belching steam from somewhere I cannot see. Are the radiators known (like my old Nissan Xterra was) to leak from old plastic parts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
