VerifiedHello and welcome to justanswer.com
If you have no leaks then I suspect we have a problem with the engine coolant thermostat or possibly the water pump. First we would need to make sure the engine cooling fans were coming on. Since it is an electric fan we could also have a problem with the fan motor/module if in fact they are not working. If the fans were on or stayed on after the vehicle is shut down it is most likely a thermostat problem. Any qualified repair shop should be able to check and replace the thermostat and/or water pump on your vehicle. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
