What are the symptoms of a bad water pump?

1. Coolant leak at the front-center of your car.

What causes car radiator to overheat and boiling?

What Causes Car Radiator Overheating and Boiling. Coolants pass through the engine block, flowing into the radiator to draw out excessive heat. The coolant then recycles through the engine. When the radiator fails to function correctly the coolant returning to the engine block is too hot, and as a result it boils over.
