As stated my 240SX 1990 KA24det leaks all the coolant in one trip and only up to about 9 miles per travel. About 2 weeks ago I had the fuel injector go south. My engine ran rough until I replaced it last friday 7/24/09. When took for test drive engine overheated. When brought back home found radiator drained. Installed water in radiator and started car, drove down the street and back and found water spouting out of a thin hole in my lower radiator house. I replaced the house and installed coolant and went to test drive again. Engine started to get hot and pulled over. Found coolent leaking from overflow but all the coolant in the overflow was bubbling. The coolant seems to be leaking all out of the overflow. After letting my car sit for a while, i remove the cap on the radiator to find it dry. When I look under the car the leak is coming from the front right, right below my overflow which I also see coming out from under the hood. See splashing of liguid on top of ait houses and vaccum houses but not any large amounts. The car does leak during the entire drive as I followed the leak all the way down the street. Any ideas as to why my coolant would be bubbling hot and overflowing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. All parts on this vehicle are stock. Thanks

Probably heater hoses in the back or coolant hoses around the throttle body area.

Or bad thermostat or water pump.
