Antifreeze / coolant has a UV dye in it (unless it is "GM dexcool", then you would have to buy a dye and put it in your radiator) . Get a "black light bulb" and put it in your shop light and look around your hoses.
They make special flashlights with UV bulbs, etc, but just go to the hardware store or Walmart and get a bulb.

What would cause a 2000 Chev Venture Warner Bros Van to lose antifreeze and run hot?
there could be a few things, the thermostat may be stuck shut, the head gasket could be gone , you may have a cracked head, or your water pump is bad or hoses are cracked, i think i got them all but may have missed one, i would start by checking all hoses and radiator for leaks, then test each cylinder for compression, then check the thermostat, and look at the water pump, by checking in these steps will save a lot of money when you do it yourself,and it really saves on doing unnecessary work... replace malfunctioning parts as needed

What would cause a 1995 corsica to leak massive amounts of antifreeze - causing a puddle under the front of the car everytime it is stopped?
First of all, make very sure you keep enough antifreeze in your resovior when driving, or you could do serious and potentially irrepairable damage to your engine. Some things to check are Your water pump could be leaking through the weep hole on the bottom side- this means the bearings are worn out, and you need to replace your water pump. No sweat if this is it, you can be back in buisness for about 40 bucks if you install it yourself. Check all of your radiator hoses to see if they are cracked or split. Also check the clamps at the ends of the hoses to make sure those aren't leaking. Don't forget the two hoses up near the firewall that go to your heater core. Your radiator has a small valve on the bottom to drain the antifreeze out, check to see if it somehow got paritally opened. Your radiator could be cracked and leaking Check your plastic resovoir to see if somehow it got cracked or is leaking Your radiator cap could be loose or leaking (or missing) You could have a blown head gasket (but if you aren't getting massive amounts of white smoke when it's running, I doubt this is it) I guess you could have a cracked engine block, but this is very severe, and I doubt it would happen. (assuming you don't have a habit of taking your corsica to the drag strip) :) If all else fails, put on some old clothes, and lay under your car with a flashlight and look for where it is dripping from. Then follow the wet back to the source of the problem. This is messy and uncomfortable, but unfortunately is sometimes the only option. If you have to do this, keep in mind that the antifreeze splashes around under your hood, so it can be very difficult to find the leak.

Rod your radiator and check your fan clutch or electric fans if you got them.

If your antifreeze got hat enough to boil, you need to find out why then replace it. It will not do the job it is supposed to.
