Overheating Problem
I have just replaced the radiator and thermostat. The heater doesn't work and it is overheating. Water appears to continue to leak... I add the water and it doesn't appear to leak from anywhere but I have added 3-4 quarts since initially filling yesterday when I chaanged them out. I added water at first but then lastniht because of freezing temps added antifreeze. The hoses going to the heater core, one is warm one is cold.

if you see no external leaks, you might have a hole in the head or head gasket. FOr a cheap test, and maybe a good fix, try Bars Leak- head gasket repair--- follow the directions.... The heater stops working when it get air locked. Air can get into the cooling system, when coolant leaks thru the head gasket into combustion chamber overnight.
