My 2006 Buick Lacrosse keeps over heating. It has about 94000 miles on it
What is your question?
I have replaced the water pump and the thermostat, and it is still over heating. I am leaking Radiator Fulid, but I cannot find the leak, or where it is coming from. Are there any other places that the leak could be coming from instead of the water pump, the thermostat or the Radiator. Is ther a hose that I am not aware of. Please let me know. I fill up the radiator and the reserve tank every day because it is gone by the next morning even if haven't driven it. Also if I drive even 5 miles with the airconditioning off. When I turn off the car I smell Radiator Fulid buring, and when it over heats Steam comes out from an area where the spark plugs are. I am at a complete loss where the problem is. Somone Please Help Me!

Probably 2 small elbows that come out of the block and go into the belt tensioner through to the heater core. (Yes sounded strange to me too) The rear one is under the alternator, but you should be able to see the front one. most part stores carry the replacements for about $12
Yeah check the elbows and also the "T" connector where elbows are connected to. Mine was doing the same thing and the plastic heater hose "T" connector was broken. I presume from the overheating in which a faulty thermostat was to blame in my case. I hope this helps.
