Hi folks. I sure hope someone can help me. Today when I was driving I heard what sounded like gurgling or bubbling coming from under the hood. I pulled over, and it turned out to be radiator coolant boiling fast and furiously in the overflow tank. I let the car cool down for about a half an hour. Then I drove for another 20 minutes and the same thing happened. Do you know what is causing this? Is it safe to drive the car to my mechanic or should I have it towed? His shop is about 20 minutes from my house, but the weather is very hot now, so I'm not sure whether it's safe to drive since it appears as if the cooling system is not working properly.
