Water dripping from underneath the engine means that you Dream Doll probably need a new water pump. Registered User As for the hot water in the radiator it is going to be hot.

OK, you do know the rad is supposed to be hot. It is at a Rockchick higher temperature than boiling point of water.

1. Your fan belt is slipping or ur fan is not coming on. Check the relay.
When you start the car or start from a stop at a red-light do you hear it
screeching & then it goes away as you pick up speed? Well, the fan belt is
loose. Tighten it.
To check the relay, park the car, idle it. See if the fan comes on -
continue the idling - see if the fan stops after some time. If it cycles
on & off, ur relay for the fan is ok.
2. Your thermostat that is supposed to open is installed the wrong
way.(you did the service only a month ago). Did you replace it with a new
one at that time?
