[Califaz805]

Hey guys my ls started over heating just seeing what i can get from you guys before i started working on it..i was at a atm and lost power steering so i pull over and notice a coolant leak..car started overheating also..i haven't looked into it much but coolant seems to be coming from lower front of engine? Any help would be nice.. i changed out degas bottle not too long ago and leak doesn't seem like that's the problem..

If you haven’t already, replace all the old cheap ass Ford plastic crap with new Ford cheap ass plastic crap.

Do a search on “LS cooling parts” and one of the members here blessed us with taking the time to research all the part numbers needed.

If all the cooling hoses and housings are the same age, when one part fails, the others will right shortly follow suit.
Spoken from personal experience.

There are also some great write ups and tutorials here on how to “Get er done” right the first time.

Please excuse my language and frustration about these plastic parts.

Hope this helps.
