My Caddy is down for the moment. On my drive to school, the temp gauge started rising, and then kept rising, and continued on until it buried!! The ac compresser disengaged to protect the motor, warning lights came on, car told me to idle it. I pulled off, popped the hood, to find the motor wasn't even all the way warmed up. But, I had coolant dripping down onto the right axle, was splashed on both rt tires, and a puddle rapidly forming. I think I saw one of the hoses leaking, but couldn't tell from that angle. When I get home, I'll probably get under the car and look. So, any advice on what I should do before and after the repairs (which I will be doing myself) Any kinds of bleeding of the coolant system, etc?
