Was driving this afternoon, there was NM in front of me, I smelled
coolant then noticed it was spraying out from under the NM. I caught up
to the car (it was going 50 in a 35) and honked several times and was
waving to pull over. Did not do that, was still spewing some coolant at
that point. A coupla miles down the road we hit the backup at a light,
no more coolant spewing, so I got out and went up to the guy and told
him what I was seeing, his car was probably overheating and he should
pull over and stop. He looks at the temp gauge and it is stuck a the
bottom on C, he says well it looks OK. I say well I'm guessing you have
no coolant so the sensor is not seeing coolant temperature, you need to
pull over and shut off the car before you destroy the engine. Light
changes, he gets back in and takes off with a bit of steam blowing out
the bottom of the radiator or a hose or something.
Oh well, I tried...
