If anyone can help, it'd be muchly appreciated.
I've got a 1991 Mazda 626 with over 200,000km on the dial. It's old, but it runs superbly. Up until today, when I was pulling into a parking lot. In an instant, the front defroster vents started pumping out very hot air (fogged up the windows immediately, etc). I parked the car and had a look around the engine, nothing seemed amiss.
However, the passenger side legroom-area was about a centimeter deep with fluid. I initially thought it was apple juice (as I had a container of that sitting there earlier) but after i smelled it - it seemed to be coolant. I recognized a drip leak, slow but steady, and jury-rigged a solution (duct tape). I drove off again, confident I could get home and sort it out when the fogging happened again, except the steam came from underneath the glove box as well as the defroster vents.
Anyway, my question is this: Wtf is wrong with my 626? Is it just the coolant leak? Is there a bigger problem? Help!
