2002 saturn l series
 

Hi,
new to the saturn forum and fairly new to mechanics. My 2002 saturn l series was running poor,no power at all but not overheating. I cleaned the throttle body real good because it had real bad gunk buildup and scraped where the head gasket seal goes,initially looking for a crack. When i put everything back together the car has power again,will get up and go,but now it over heats instantly, and the bottom hose on the reservoir is dripping coolant. It had some k-seal placed in it once before. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Please excuse my newness.

Is it an L200 or an L300? They are two entirely different engines. The L200 is a 2.2L four cylinder and the L300 is a 3L six cylinder.

Its the 2.2L,4 cylinder.

What do you mean by overheats immediately? Does the gage go up or does it push coolant out. You must fix the leak.
