2005 Lincoln LS 3.8 Overheating

[Austin101!!]

Hi I did not find a group for LS owners being I am new maybe someone could help me. Recently I had once again had to change the coolant reservoir or Burp Tank.
It would not bleed down so I looked for leeks and found only one above the thermostat neck at the screw on cover. So I spent better than two days putting all new plastic on the front of motor. Now its leaking at the passenger side rear engine block. This happened while the car was jack up under drivers side and on stand. Can not find the leak and its not in the engine oil or exhaust . My engine is running stable yet won't bleed down. I took the car off the jack stands and the leak seemed to disappear for the most part but If I refill the tank it will not bleed any air from tank nozzle. I am ready to scrap it at this point but the car only has 100k on it.

Repair coolant leaks first
Bleeding the system of air might be best at removing heater hose(s) and allow any air to bleed out. Many times the heater core is at the highest point of the coolant. Air seeks the highest point.

Do you have a V8 or a V6?

During the bleed of the canister, it’s normal for someone to turn the heat on inside the vehicle. Having done that the vehicle got hot right away but yet the indicator on the dashboard was still running cold and now we still got that water pouring down the right side of the motor, I’ve got a find someone that has experience in this no disrespect. Thank you, Cody.

Water pouring down the right side!!!! You will have to fix that first. Where is it coming from?
Right front or right rear
Front - water pump, radiator hose out of engine
Rear - head gasket, heater hose.

Right rear running down from top of trans to floor but do to the fact that I am a disabled Vet I can not crawl under there. I looked everywhere on top and no matter what I do Can not locate the leak

I did and all they did was check out my work and tell me to add blue devil to it and how to do it. Water is cold coming out the exhaust no smoke and the leak over the trans stops when ignition is off and it all has one commonality. Even though the engine is hot and heater is really hot water leaks come out cold. I am following the instructions on the blue devil engine sealant and will see what happens when its cool again

Engine coolant sealants may create more problems have it solves.
Your car, your choice. Good luck.

Sir if all your going to do is be condescending to clients here, that is so unprofessional and I find your skill set regarding Lincoln V8 engines wanting!
The one client with a SEALED Trans as all LS from 2002 and above are, you told her to get a new gasket and filter. This shows me that your guessing at best! Then you came back a day later and corrected yourself. If you can not perform a service here without making rude comments, leave here as I know longer find this forum SAFE with you in it. Your a jerk!!

Cody,

Not condescending, just my opinion that chemicals to seal leaks in the cooling system are problematic. That is what forums are about, posting opinion. What I am suggesting above, you do not seem to want. That is OK with me. However I would suggest that name calling does not further your cause. Again, you are the one making decisions for your vehicle. Have at it.

As to my posts and opinions, I have received over 1400 up votes on posts that I have made. Seems like some others agree with what I have been offering. You have been here for about a week and are already resorting to calling me names. I usually find that when a user starts calling others names it is because they have no logical answers and resort to a childish form of frustration venting. Name calling.

I might also point out that you do not have a complete grasp of the English language. You have a coolant leak not a coolant leek. And you do not completely understand how forums operate. You were confused at where the Lincoln LS forum was located so you posted it here. In the future you might look closer and read. Minor I know and it seems as if you major in the minor things.

Good luck with your LS.

My English skills ? have you looked at your miserable words skipping many. Look don't contact me or I will file suit against Joe an these sponsors for allowing a Nasty Black Man to target clients here. Your an unskilled Black Child! who takes money to answer questions here! The only skill set you have is shooting off your bad opinions not based on Facts! I work in a criminal analyst unit and I can pick off a criminal such as you just by listening

And please take legal action now! Looking forward to it.
Not sure why you reference me as a black man. Another assumption on your part.

Moderator - please close this thread. It is of no value.

Hi Action, I've been a follower on this forum since the beginning of last year and really enjoy most of the them and have learned a lot about Lincolns and about my Aviator. I have not always agreed with your opinions or advice, but on the overall I can't remember you EVER not just trying to be helpful to someone who was in need of help. I just hope this doesn't discourage you from continuing your efforts. Keep up the good work...And the Beat Goes On...
