I think you may be referring to coolant leaking from engine? engine coolant or water can leak from any coolant hose or heater hose, waterpump, thermostat housing etc, wurse case the head gasket is leaking coolant externally, need a pro to check it out
If it is noisy, leaking or not pumping sufficient coolant to cool the engine, replace it.
Look for the leak. See saturnfans.com for more info
If your van has rear heating it will have hoses and a heater core back there, that is most likely the source of the leak.
It could be that you have a leaking heater core, which resides inside your car. Another give-away for a leaking core would be a sweet smell inside the car and/or a sticky residue on the inside of your windshield.

Two main causes for this on a SL's SW's or SC's are 1) a leaking PCV hose from the valve cover to the intake 2) a faulty coolant sensor ( yellow and black wires) by upper coolant hose Other possible causes are a leaking intake gasket or throttle body gasket. Hope this helps-
What makes you think your leaking coolant if you dont see any puddles? You may have a stuck dirty sensor if that is what your going by. Clean the resiviour with soap and water. Also tighten all your hose clamps
