Hi guys and gals!

I did a dumb thing driving down to LA, i didn't turn my engine off at rest stops. Why? well, because I had been told that shutting off a hot engine and then starting it is harmful.

It overheated and all the coolant leaked (fell ) out. so,

1. The intense pressure caused a leak in the coolant system right?

2. Where the first place to look? any tips?

My mechanic already scolded me so please go easy.

Thank you in advance!!!!!

forever grateful,
Philip
