Car info: 2003 Ho da civic EX 138,000 miles.
I have been experiencing an over heat problem- particularly when drving at highway speeds about 15 mins into the drive.The temp guage will slowly rise up, ill turn on fan until I can sasafely pull over. Once I stop the vehicle, lots of white smoke comes out from under the hood and collant drips- which forms a lovely expensive liquid puddle(exaggeration).
I took it to the mechanics, he pressure tested the cooling system, and no signs of a major leak. He wants tk take it to a smog shop to have the system cheeked for combustion gases? He believes gasket might have a crack.
oil is normal color and no excessive white smoke out of tail pipe.
Help?

You say no major leak. If the system does not hold
full pressure you could overheat. Hear is a link to
