coolant smoking and entering car ,help

[kevingotashotoo]

so this is the story i recently just replaced my valve cover seals...and in the process i noticed my hardline to the heater motor was broken, i replace it with a 3/4 hose and left out the sensor...now today i just took it for a test drive and smoke is coming out through my heater vents and coming out from my hood, what the **** did i do wrong?

thanks for any help or solutions

Sounds like you got a leak or old coolant burning off, about the only thing you can do is inspect and find the leak if there is one there and hope its not the heater core although it don't sound like it.

its leaking from the passenger side, i took my garden hose and blasted it down the rad, and there is a leak, it seems to be entering out of a hole at the bottom of the car maybe like some drain hole or something so where ever this leak is,its comeing from a hole under the car...but i do know for sure now that it is not coming from my new hose or heater motor

that said, is there a specific hose known to break on the passenger side area?, wish i had a shp[ manual to know exactly where all my coolant hoses are located


ps: i noticed when i was driving i heard like a boiling noise coming from my dash

updated: at the very bottom, i found that something was missing either a hose disconecceted or a plug fell out, but that still doesnt explain why theres coolant that went onto my pedals?

If you have coolant coming into the car, my best guess would be that your heater core is leaking...

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see the other thread yet about this topic.. so yeah, what *they* said
