1996 and up Taurus cars have a problem with cracking on the bottom of the reservoir. I have replaced the tank on all three of my familys Tauruses because two had hairline cracks that would leave antifreeze on the ground near the reservoir.

if you can smell antifreeze, you have an antifreeze leak somewhere. you need to clean engine then look for coolant . it will generally pool on ground under vehicle unless it is leaking onto engine and burning off. note that the coolant will run so you may have to trace back to the actual leak. check all coolant fittings, such as hoses and check area round water pump.
You may have blown a head gasket, check you oil to see if the antifreeze is leaking into there.
YOU DONT! THe stuff that goes in pools is not automotive antifreeze. Its usually pink and only a few bucks a bottle.
A small radiator leak can cause antifreeze to leak on your 1998 Chevy Lumina when there are not any spots on the ground. A pinhole in a hose can also cause this.
burning ground
look on the ground and follow it straight up to the engine
You will have antifreeze leaking out and dripping on the ground.
It is possible that the antifreeze is coming from a bad water pump. Clean the engine off. Watch it to see where the antifreeze is leaking from, as it could be a hose instead of the pump.
you sell it and buy a Chevy truck
No. If the themostat is not working the care will run hot if stuck closed and not reach operating temp if stuck open. First check to see if there any sign of leakage on the ground that could mean a bad water pump, hoses, radiator, or freeze plugs. Check the passenger side floor which could mean a bad heater core. Check the engine oil for radiator fliud which will tell you if you have a bad head gasket letting antifreeze into the combustion chamber and out the tail pipe.
