Asked by Lara Jun 20, 2020 at 04:26 PM about the 2008 Dodge Caliber

Question type: General

Have a 2008 Dodge Caliber after driving for about
15 or 20 minutes and most of time when it's hot
outside except for this time the engine hot light
comes on and when I pop the hood to look the
stuff in the reservoir for the coolant was leaking
out the bottom of the car and a giant puddle the
radiator hose was hot and Squishy all this is going
on while the temperature gauge on the dash still
reads normal what's going on with my car

Fix the leak! You should probably replace all the hoses, flush the cooling system and install new coolant.

Im not sure where its leaking from honestly. This is going on as we speak. The coolent reservore when i check it the first time we saw it was a little below the full on the car cool down the light went off we drove a bit further up the freeway the light came back on we stopped and then the reservoir had way above the full line in it as if I'd filled it up or something in between which I didn't and it was boiling
