i recently bought a 1989 laser KE GL and i have been having over heating problems i got the RAC to have a look but the guy said it was just a small leak in one of my heater hoses i have a feeling it is something more than a small leak as i am filling the radiator up every time before i start the car and it overheats within 10 minutes of driving when i pull over the water in the resevoir is normally bubbling and i can hear air escaping from somewhere but there is still some water visible in the radiator is there any other reason my car is overheating so much?
