Add coolant to the full cold line on the coolant reservoir when engine is cold.
You should not need to bleed coolant. Ever. If the coolant is filling up on its own the stuff in there is not coolant and you have a big problem.

This is difficult so pay attention- (1) Remove the radiator cap (2) Start filling the radiator with a proper mixture of water and coolant(Most climates us a 50/50 mixture) (3) Once the coolant reaches the radiator neck stop filling and let the coolant go down, you can speed this up by starting the engine and letting the coolant start to circulate. (4) keep doing this until the coolant level remains at or near the top of the radiator. Happy Motoring!
The coolant is added by filling up the reservoir bottle. This model is not filled through a radiator cap.
by either using a pressurized tool for filling it or along the top of the intake there is a coolant line that has a *bleed screw* that can be opened while filling it till coolant comes out of the hole then close it up
Most newer cars have the coolant sensor in the overflow bottle. Filling this will probably take care of it. Where the coolant is going is another issue. Head gas kit
To add coolant to a 1998 Trans Am, first ensure the engine is cool to avoid burns. Locate the coolant reservoir, which is typically a translucent plastic tank near the radiator. Remove the cap and add a mixture of coolant and water (usually a 50/50 ratio), filling it to the appropriate level indicated on the reservoir. After filling, replace the cap securely and check for leaks before starting the engine.
You may have a coolant leak that will need repaired.
The engine coolant temperature sensor has nothing to do with the low coolant light. The low coolant sensor is mounted in the bottom of the overflow/filling reservoir by your washer fluid bottle. You will need to verify that the coolant overflow/fill bottle has coolant in it and if it does then the sensor is bad and will have to be replaced.
Checking & filling coolant on the vehicle is considered routine maintenance, and is well detailed and illustrated in the Owners Manual - See "Related Questions" below for more
If the low coolant light is still on after replacing the radiator and filling it with coolant, there may be air trapped in the system, preventing accurate sensor readings. Additionally, the coolant level sensor itself could be faulty or dirty, causing it to malfunction. It's also worth checking the wiring and connections to the sensor for any damage or corrosion. Make sure to bleed the cooling system to remove any air pockets.
To begin with you will smell diesel after parking. You will also have your coolant system start overflowing because it will be filling up with diesel. The crack will allow the injector to push diesel into the coolant.
