Weird Cooling Problems...

LET THE NICKEL AND DIMING BEGIN!

Car started acting weird after I passed someone.

Leaking Coolant, but only if I step on it.
>30psi oil pressure unless I'm driving
Car gets hotter the slower I drive, and again, I have to be into my job as a delivery driver today at 5pm...

Re: Weird Cooling Problems...

is the fan on? because faster driving means more air circulation if you don't have a fan.
Other than that, it sounds like a gasket...

Re: Weird Cooling Problems...

Found the coolant leak, it was just a hose.
Changed my oil, and i have 15psi at 1200rpm idle, and a little more than 30psi at 55mph cruise at 2500rpm, so the oil pressure is normal, right?
My fans aren't working... But my mechanic rewired my push to start, so I'm going to talk to him when he gets back in town, and see if any of his wiring might have messed with it, I also haven't enough light to check my fuses at the moment, but its cold enough that I'm okay driving around for now.

and THANK YOU for your reply, lol
