leaking coolant?
2016 jeep patriot 141k miles. about a month ago when turning on my car i heard a draining sound like a water jug emptying? fast forward a few days my car started overheating and my mechanic said it was radiator fluid coming out of the overflow. he didn’t find any leaks or anything else wrong. now i’m a 28 year old female so i have no idea what any of that means but anyways he replaced the thermostats and housing and sent me on my way. all was fine but ever since getting my car back i haven’t been comfortable driving it (anxiety about it breaking down again) and so ive only gone 5 miles at most around my little town the last 2-3 weeks. today i sat in idle for about 5-8 minutes and upon turning off the engine i heard that water jug emptying sound again and when i drove off i saw fluid on the ground 🫠 does this sound familiar to anyone? im so frustrated and at a loss right now.
edit : i have replaced the throttle body already and replaced thermostat housing to a better material to avoid warping in the future.
