Hello everyone, I have a 2002 Ford Explorer V6 XLT. Recently some work was done on it to install sprockets which tensioned the timing belt. Obviously a lot of the engine was disassembled at the dealership, all under warranty. Since then some additional problems have developed but I don't know if that has anything to do with the work was done. One day the truck simply overheated and died (wife driving it, saw smoke and everything, guages screaming, you name it...I know, I know, let's not even go there). I got there, opened the hood and not an ounce of coolant in the reservoir. It was so hot that I didn't want to open it. Needless to say, the coolant level, once towed in, was discovered to be extremely low.
The diagnosis was a thermostat that was faulty and telling the system to eject the coolant. They replaced the thermostat.
Two weeks ago, my wife saw another puddle of green liquid at work. I looked at it and sure enough nothing in the reservoir (it was to the max level at the dealership). I filled it up and thus far it seems to be holding. Any ideas, what's going on here?
Thanks,
