I have a 2001 Buick century custom, and recently had the same problem. What you need to replace is the car itself. But if you can't do that, go to advanced auto parts and buy some Bar's Leaks Liquid Copper. It costs just shy of $9. Just follow the instructions on the bottle, except let the engine idle for about 15 minutes instead of five, and you should notice an improvement immediately. My car started to overheat a little bit while i was letting it idle, and if that starts to happen, just let it keep going unless it gets dangerously high. The higher the temp, the more likely you are to have the Bar's get throughout the entire system and find your leak. Good Luck!
