First determine what it is- if it's orange it is most likely anti-freeze. Open cap and see if that's what it is.
my power steering fluid on my 2002 Saturn lw300 started leaking off and on but now i have to put put fluid in everytime i want to drive it.

You can't. It is a closed system and per the Minneapolis Jaguar dealer, you do not change the fluid or filter ever. I do not believe this and now at 120k on my 2002 S Type 3.0L, my transmission is slipping. I am having the pan dropped and new fluid put in to see if it solves the slipping issue.
the jaguar gearbox is sealed for life.so you have bigger problems,unless you have had a leak
I had my S type done 1 year ago it cost me £450.00
The curb weight for a 2002 Jaguar X-Type is 3400 to 3500 pounds. The 2002 Jaguar X-Type is 183.9 inches long.
Buy a new transmission oil pan gasket before your transmission blows from leaking liquid.
the fluid will be leaking from the head
Checking the transmission fluid is an important part of owning a car. A person pulls out the dipstick while the car is warm, wipes it off, dips it into the car and looks at the level of the fluid on the stick.
If it is the same as my 2002, my manual says that unless the transmission is leaking, the fluid level SHOULD not go down, so therefore they don't give you one. A dumb idea in my thinking.
AnswerIt could be your boot or seal around the transmission.My 2002 passport was leaking from the front pan, the transmission has a front and rear pan and the gasket had to be replaced.
It is leaking and overheating because a part has failed.
