I just bought an 83 civic. All is well, until without warning the engine coughs to a halt. I notice I've overheated somewhat, so I go buy some coolant. I wait a while till she cools down, top up coolant, and wait another hour to be safe. I start up, and within a few blocks it's overheating.
I go to pull over and notice that my turn signals aren't working. Coolant is pouring out of what looks like 3 or 4 spots from a metal tube that runs back from the rad. The oil light and battery warning lights are on. The oil is fine, trans oil good, it starts fine and all electrical working except for turn signals.
This is a great car even tho it's old and banged up, it was well cared for, this has me bamboozled.

you and me both... I say flush to coolant to see if there is a clog, and maybe the excess coolant got on some wires and shorted them?....
