Thanks guys for the help & suggestion. I told my friend to take the car to a shop to have the system pressure tested. They found that it was one of the heater hoses that was leaking. I did look at those per someones suggestion, but did not see a leak... The shop of course, decided to soak her for an additional $100+ for a new thermostat and drive belts.... I warned her not to authorize any 'additional' repairs, but what can I say? not the first woman who has not listened to me and somehow I have a feeling not the last one either...

Thanks again!

JJ

    Really appreciate knowing the outcome even if it was a simple thing. Gives credibility to checking the simple things first. At least she didn't burn up her engine.

    That's what a cell phone is for - "They also say they need to replace the um-de-dum and the dip-de-doo". "Tell them just to fix the leaky hose".

    Replacing one of those hoses is a bit of a pain. Better they do it than you!
