just bought my first Z and im a bit worried about it. been running fine all week no problems. then yesterday it overheated on my way home so i stopped and let it cool off and put more water in it and continued fine. then today it started to get hot again but it didnt quite get to maximum so i limped home, on my way home the windows started steaming up with the blower on and i opened the bonnet to find steam coming from the front of the engine. i cant see where it is as theres pipes and wires in the way. im confused and a bit scared now! any help would be great.

 

thanks,

You have a water leak from either the waterpump or the Two metal water inlet/outlet pipes that go into the front of the engine.

 

Hopefully you will be lucky and its not caused any damage, but you'll need to get it to a garage, preferably a 300zx specialist.

thanks. there is a specialist at the top of my road which is lucky but there closed today. im going to have to take it there at some point this week but i work late every night! i could have done without this. the cars great otherwise! very fast and gets so many looks!
