the coolant is all over the passanger side and the waterpump doesnt seem to be leaking anywhere. could have been a hose or something but then again the temperature gauge shows the engine beyond the red area even when the car is off and cold.


That is too weird. I dunno what can be going on.

But if it's on the passenger side, it could have been as simple as leaving the pressure cap loose on the expansion tank.

Check all the fuses and electrical connections, if they steam cleaned it they usually blast high pressure hot water all over the place, they might have disconnected something or popped a fuse.

Does the gauge even move when you put the key in "run" without starting the car?

I gotta look under the hood of the '96 after I get home to see where else it could be coming from.
