when you get a chance, open your hood and see if you see a kinda straight line in the heat lining. (black fabric under hood) when my water pump took a dive, it was leeking onto the belt flinging fluid onto under the hood. please note, putting antifreeze into the over flow bottle is not neccesarly going to go to the rad, these are gravity feed systems. when mine first started over heating i to saw the overflow filled but the rad was empty.
