if there are no signs of leaks on the ground, gm is known for leaky head gaskets. i have the problem on my 03 grand am gt. look around the plenum or intake manifold and you should see signs of antifreeze burn-off or small accumulation puddles in the crevices of the block or cylinder heads. or check your oil and see if it looks like a "strawberry shake" color, if yes then it's leaking into your oil passages...not good!!!! your engine may stall due to lack of lubrication meaning EXPENSIVE REPAIR! hope this helps or gives you ideas of what to look for.

One common cause is when you need antifreeze fluid for your radiator. Often times, the liquid becomes completely used and that is when your engine heats up, which could further result in a cracked radiator.

What happens if you mix different kinds of anti freeze?

in some cases the antifreeze will change consistency, it would turn into a "muddy" like substance. As long as the antifreeze you are using is ethylene glycol based, as most are,(Prestone, Peak, Zerex, private label brands) EXCEPT the Sierra brand, they are totally compatible. If your cooling system has any darkness to it that indicates it is time for a cooling system flush.
