I have a 2003 frontier, I’m 17 in high school. I drove to school this morning perfectly fine. I parked and idled for a few minutes with the heater on about half way, and all of a sudden, it started steaming and spraying out coolant and water. The leak looked like it was coming from under the intake manifold. I turned it off, I wasn’t paying attention to the temp gauge. But popped the hood and looked, nothing I could see was leaking. But there was a huge puddle under the truck and I could still hear it spraying out. I had to get to class but I was researching all day and I am still wondering if I have to take the manifold off to get to the heater hose. If I have the right tools with me I could do it after school in the parking lot.
I would love it if someone could help me out and tell me what the best options I have. I live about 20 minutes away but my school is in downtown so it would be constant stop go. If I refill the radiator with distilled water does anyone think I could make it home to fix it, or just go to advanced auto parts and get the hose and replace it in the parking lot, dads at work, brothers out of town, I can do it on my own, it would just be a first for me.
Advice would be really helpful.
