I was driving home tonight and when I accelerated there was a huge cloud of white smoke that came out from behind me. When I came to the next stop, my car overheated and my boyfriend and I could both hear and feel boiling in the engine. When we got home, I checked under the hood. The last few weeks it's been shifting really weird, having problems excellerating, etc. I checked the oil for coolant (for head gasket problem...common with neons) and it was fine. But when I checked my transmission fluid, it was caked with a gel-like coolant. And, the resevoir for the coolant was leaking slightly as well. Any ideas on what this may be? Common problem? So far, I've heard it's either a crack in the engine block or possible a radiator? maybe a rear main seal?

 

If your trans fluid and and radiator fluid are gooked up you probably blew the trans cooler in the radiator. Now you have a mess!!!

 

eww, look at the bright side, now you and your b/f have something to do next weekend
