O.K. FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS STRONG RADIATOR SMELL. REPLACED ADIATOR DUE TO CRACK, STILL HAD ODOR, THEN FILM ON WINDSHIELD, NO HEAT,JUST COLD AIR. PRECEPITATION ON INSIDE WINDOWS, WET FLOORBOARD. GUSHING LEAK FROM HEATER CORE. REPLACED WATER PUMP & HEATER CORE. STILL SMELLING VERY STRONG RADIATOR FLUID, GURGLING SOUND AT START UP AND TURN OFF. LOSING RADIATOR FLUID, BUT NO LEAKS. FLUID COMES FROM UNDER CAP (REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY) AT TIMES AND HAS OVERHEATED TWICE. THERMOSTAT HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. RADIATOR SMELL IS ENOUGH TO CHOKE YOU.
