About Two days ago my car started spouting steam from the top vents of the dash. and since then my coolant light is always on and i am having to add water to the cooling system to keep the car from overheating. its buring up atleast 2 gallons of water per hour or so of operation. Ive rattled my head trying to think whats wrong but have yet to find a conclusion. I have went through all the checks in the hayes manual. it is all working as best as i can tell. SO what do you recomend i do. Note i have very little $$ to go to the dealer and get it done. But i am very mechanicly skilled and am not afraid to fix my self.

Sounds like heater core to me.
Bypass it just to make sure and go from there.
Check under the carpet for water if it is wet you will know for sure.

yep. heater core I'd say. Sucks to get antifreeze all inside your car like that ! In Cali. I doubt you need your heater much. Quick fix- loop the heater hoses that go to your firewall under the hood. (bypass the heater core) Problem solved, but not fixed
