Default Newbie needs help with her thirsty Neon

So, my sweet little '01 Neon is leaking through the top of the radiator...filling it up with waterabout every weekend...she's thirsty, what can I say?. You can BARELY tell. Its actually VERY hard to see where shes leaking from. I was thinking GOOP? Any one have any product suggestions?

Also, my door sensor is wacked.. It tells me that the door is open when it isn't. As a result I was forced tot ake the bulb out of the roof so I could drive at night... Took it to a mechanic... he says that he would have to replace the sensor ($$$).. is there anything else I can do to the Sensor? like cover it with some kind of something?? lol (Back Passenger Door)

thanks all!

Is it leaking from the cap?


DO NOT put stop leak in it!! Most of the time this will cause a clog somewhere else. We can help but we need to know spacifically where it is leaking!

For the door take a look in the fuse box under the hood. Thier is a fuse in thier that has a plastic clip. It looks like it is a puller but it is not. Pry that sucker out and it is most likly blowen..... that should fix the problem!!

it might be A bad thermostat not lettin any water in, therefore building it up n throwing it out. i dont know if the neons have a lil hose for the water reserve wich it throws out water in case of "too much water" but check cuz it might be ur problem. and in case it is u can just take out ur thermostat n letthat bitchrun, thats my ghetto solution.

It's not leaking from the cap. It is leaking from above the fan in the front, no where near the cap.

No she isn't running hot. Needle is always half way between cold and hot. I usually look to make sure.... So I know it hasn't changed.
