1997 Chrysler Concorde loosing coolant but cannot see where and car overheats
loosing coolant but cannot see where and car overheats
What is your question?
parked car and went into store. after coming out of store saw coolant running underneath the car but could not see where it came from. since then have been loosing coolant and car will begin to overheat. chrysler dealer had it two weeks but could not find the leak. another mechanic also looked at it and found no leak. exhaust doesn't smoke and cannot smell or taste antifreeze at tailpipe. leakdown and dye tests have been done to no avail. left cooling fan has quit since overheating began but it was working fine when it first began overheating. no one seems to think it is a head gasket or cracked head but i am wondering if it is the water pump. can only drive about 3 miles in traffic before it begins to overheat. since the experts can't find where coolant is going how do i troubleshoot this.

If you continue to drive this vehicle you won't have to worry where the leak is, because you will end up having to replace the engine.
By now you have blown the head gaskets. You need to check it for hydrocarbons in the cooling system. That is done with a exhaust gas analyizer.
Remmember just because the dealer sells the vehicle doesn't mean that they know what they are doing.
