I am back with some more information.
I decided not to bother going to the dealer ship as this will probably cost me a lot of money again.

I’ve been doing some more test driving and the engines does not overheat when i keep the rpm’s above 3k rpm.
The cooling fan does kick in when the temp rises.

Could this symptom be a clear give away of what is not working?

Thank you all for your input.

I have had the car serviced at the Cadillac dealership 3 weeks ago wich was a very expensive service.
Appartenly the did not notice my coolant was very dirty.

I also remember there has been an intermittent squeaking noise witch has gotten worse lately.
Maybe this noise is coming from a failing water pump.

I will go back to the dealership and see what they have to say.
otherwise i will start by flushing the system and go from there.

thanks again,

Today my car has been checked by a mechanic, and it is better than i though it would be.
There are no real problems only some small things like brake lines that are starting to rust.(witch i will address)
The noise is gone now, most likely a belt.

For know i will just keep on driving.

[Ralf]

thanks for your responses. the noise is gone again since the temperature had gone up.
I am going to get the car checked next week to see if it is worth repairing or if i should stop sinking money into it.

Lets hope there will be no further problems!

I think i am just going crazy thinking what could be broken, you guys have reassured me there is nothing wrong with the my clutch.
Thanks for the answers, always fun to talk about cars on the ericthecarguy forum!

I suppose that is possible, it’s been a week now and it seems fine.
How much damage could a little water do in a hydraulic system?
