most of the time this is because your radiator has sprung a leak. it can also be because your coolant hoses are corroded and need replacing. check all of the coolant lines coming from the radiator and that they are in good condition and properly attached to there flanges. then check the radiator for any visible signs of corrosion or holes. sometimes your water pump can experience wear and eventualy begin leaking through a small hole under it. Most of the time after running the engine you can take a flashlight and go under the car and see where the coolant is leaking from. follow any drips or liquid trails. if its a hose, simply replace it. if its your water pump, you can replace it or have it replaced. if its coming from a break in your radiator it is best to replace it. using chemicals to stop radiator leaks is a bad idea. auto parts stores will recommend it for quick fixes but do not use these chemicals. they plug up the holes for a temporary fix but also add debris to your coolant wich can build up in un wanted areas imagine if you started bleeding and you injected a clotting agent into your blood to stop it. you would most likely die. The best fix for this is to install a new radiator all together. they are in-expensive if you order them online.

What brand of coolant for 2000 Toyota solara?

Check your owner's manual. It recommends Toyota brand longlife (red) coolant. Toyota coolant is 'similar' to GM's Dexcool (orange) but the chemical makeup is slightly different. Do NOT use standard (green) Ethylene Glycol coolant unless you completely drain and flush (at least twice) your cooling system. Cheers

Check the radiator hoses. The coolant is either leaking out of the new radiator, or it is coming from a radiator hose. The water pump may be leaking. Hose clamps may be loose.
