okay, not trying to make this seem like a same question different thread, but...
last night i was cruising around, park at a buddies house and heard an odd noise, thought i seen smoke coming from under the hood so i popped it and found out that my coolant was bubbling and steaming. and i can never really tell how hot the motor is because my temperature gauge is broken. but as i was saying, it blew a big crack in the side of my overflow. does anyone know where i can get a new one? and how much one would be? thanks.

I'd be getting my temp gauge fixed. It sounds like you have a cooling problem.
