Antifreeze should show up to the level line when cold normal but may raise some when hot and fall below some when cold. This is due to expansion and contracting from engine being hot or cold. A slight fall below this line can not mean much it can also evaporate some. A small leak can loose some but if you are putting fluid in everyday or two then you probably have a leak someplace.

Where is the antifreeze tank on a 1989 Honda Accord you am trying to check the antifreeze level in the radiator but do you put antifreeze in the radiator or in the overflow tank and where is it?

Always check and fill from the rad neck. If your car is equipped with a reservoir tank it will be attached by a hose to the neck of the rad. Follow it to find it.I hope this helps you. Mark

When running the air conditioner, there might be a small leak of fluid on the 2000 Alero after it is parked. This is normal as it is only the overflow valve being released. Always check the antifreeze level before operating the vehicle in the summer to prevent low antifreeze warnings.

Where do you pour the antifreeze in a 2002 Saturn. Give me a diagram. where do i pour the window cleaner?

Look carefully around your engine bay and identify parts. The windshield washer, oil, trans, and coolant lids are almost always marked on top. You put the antifreeze in the radiator or coolant overflow bottle. You often have to drain or remove some water first. - Better yet, get a manual for your car so you can understand it and do simple maintenance.
