So I overheated the car but I figured it was because it was 113F outside I had the AC on blast and I was going up a hill at a slow speed. I noticed that the temp gauge looked a little off and I started watching it and sure enough it raises another tick mark. Shut the car off and I come to a stop and even though the car is off the needle went about 3/4 of the way up.
So I let the car cool off for 10 mins and and I checked the oil for coolant in the oil and smoke out the tailpipes and nothing.
So Fast forward till today. Up until now I haven't had a problem with the car. I've been running my OBD2 Wifi dongle to watch the coolant temp and its around 215-220 cruising around town. So I figured it was fixed. I went to a drift event today and I let me body take the first lap well when we pulled back to the pit what we thought was smoke from tires was actually coming from the motor. The temp gauge was maxed out. Not good. The car barfed coolant all over the ground and we got to cool off in about 5 mins. Found that it had a bad radiator cap so I replaced it and drove it around town and it was now running around 205-215F with the outside temperature at 105F outside and the ac on. Well now I'm freaking out because I know the coolant seals are super sensitive. I've checked the oil and it doesn't look like the coolant is leaking into the oil. No smoke out the tailpipes either. I'm doing an oil change tomorrow even though its been 800 miles since I've done it so I can see if the coolant is leaking in. I just want to see from everyone if these motors are really as fragile as everyone says or if I just got really freaking lucky. Any advice would help thanks.
