OH MY GOD. I don't want to blow up my car..

[Render]

OH MY GOD. I don't want to blow up my car, so please help me. These pictures were taken immidiately after I pulled into the parking lot of McDonalds. I was driving with my friend and pulled up next to him at the stop light and he said "Did you know your leaking something?" and I said "Umm...No.." and he then said "Dude, your leaking ALOT" so we went a few blocks and pulled into the lot and hopped under the car and took some shots. Is this normal for my car, a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST? What should I do to stop this? It seems to be coming out of the raditor overflow, overflow? An extra hose that leads to nowhere. Thanks in advance for your help, here are the pictures:

No. I just registered the car yesterday (thursday) drove it to work, drove it home, drove it to my moms, drove it home, drove up to a little mini-car show on HW100 then drove back almost home and noticed this. I havent done anything to the car but adjust the idle because my idle speed motor (I think) is bad so my idle is always going funny. I almost t-boned a guy today pulling into a parking lot because my car died and lost power brakes and steering..

check to see if all your belts are intact I lost control of my car one time before because one of the belt snapped off, then it overheated and the coolant came out of the overflow bottle hose.......

 

[dsm4life]

looks like you over filled rad fluid and its coming out of over flow.

I havent put any fluid in, so it must have been the last guy :thumbdown. Speaking of belts, check my other thread please

 

[halik008]

well there are two marks on the overflow tank...min and max..... When the car is completly cold the level should @ around MIN mark, when hot it should be @ around MAX or below..

okay. its really dark out right now, ill check it tomorrow morning when its cold and light

i checked it out and its about 1cm high of 'liquids' from the bottom of the coolant resovour...

 

[dsm4life]

dont worry , make sure your rad isnt leaking. Just keep eye on engine temp.

 

[Twizzle]

you could have overheated.... maybe your rad fans are out.

 

[Render]

so do i just put more anti-freeze in then?

one of the fans spins (passenger side) and the drivers side fan stays off and when the pass fan turns off the drivers side fan spins once and goes off...

 

[philipkrotch]

mine did that for a while, turned out it was a bad rad cap. check that and kleep an eye on the t-stat, also, it would be a good idea to do a compression check, maybe a headgasket.

Could this be a problem??
