I just noticed this today. Nagboboil yung water dun sa lalagyan ng tubig sa loob ng engine bay. Is this normal?

Car's engine is off. Corolla 95 gli.

can you give us more details?

how long have you run the car? after turning off the engine, you popped the hood and you open the reservoir cap and the water/coolant was boiling (think kettle in a stove) or was steam pouring out?

did your temp gauge say you were overheating?

Only 20 mins drive from qc to pasig.

i turned the engine off then i heard some gurgling. Then i popped the hood and the water was boiling where you put the water in the plastic container, Not steam. i didnt open the radiator cap because it seemed really hot.

Didnt notice if the temp guage showed overheating. i'll check on my way back home later.

its not normal. Better check if your 2 fans are working they might be the cause of the overheating

drive again and look at your temp gauge. the gurgling could be water coming from the radiator going into the reservoir.

happened to me before 15 minutes drive lang from my place to shagrila edsa, i heard gurgling in my engine compartment and when i opened the hood, the collant reservoir was boiling.

when i got home, i discovered wala na halos coolant/tubig yung radiator, nagli-leak pala sa drain plug, i simply tighten the plug and added coolant and water and okay na sya.
