Reader Question

Hi, my car overheated and is leaking antifreeze.. All my gauges are normal so i didn’t think anything before it over heated. I put water in the radiator and it just kept sucking it down, it never over flowed. I only did it for about 2 or 3 mins. I know absolutely nothing about cars… I was wondering f you can help.. And maybe tell me the problem and what to do… and maybe the cost??? ( it is a 2002 firebird, if that helps)

Thank you sooo much
Brittany

Yooooooo Brittany,

I would HIGHLY suggest you take the car to a mechanic and have them perform a cooling system pressure test, its cheap and easy and will tell you where the coolant is leaking from so you can fix it. Test should cost less than $60 or so, and they can probably do it while you wait. Even most oil change places can do it for you.

Once you find out where the leak is you can email me back if you need help.
