If the Sable is equipped with the 3.8 liter engine, it is probably ablown headgasket. If you cannot see an external leak, then you have an internal leak. An internal leak is more likely than not caused by a blown head gasket or cracked head. Stop driving the car immediately or you will do serious engine damage. A compression test will possibly help verify if you have a blown head gasket. Get this repaired ASAP.

Then diagnose it and fix it. There is more than one possible reason why this is happening. Narrowing it down requires diagnosis. Either you have blockage in the coolant lines or passages, a faulty thermostat, a faulty water pump, or a bad belt driving the water pump.
