Coolant not getting to radiator fix?

[Dbey24]

My 2007 Ford Explorer has been overheating. I had the thermostat replaced and also the temperature sensor. 1.There is coolant in the reservoir but when I take the radiator cap off it doesn’t look like the coolant is going thru to it. 2. Also there is a pipe above my exhaust that leaks onto the exhaust what is the pipe and what can I do to fix it. Can I get some help with these to problems please?

IMHO you ought to fill your radiator with coolant. As for the pipe/tube....um.... cant help you with that.

The pipe or tube above the exhaust that leaks is more than likely the drain for the A\C system.

Quick test.

Start the truck, A\C off and leave it off. Let it run for about 15 minutes and if it is the drain it should not drip.

Turn A\C on and wait a few minutes and drip should return.

Only drips when the car overheats. Also I was told that I needed a new rear heater core don’t know if that factors into anything
