How do you fix 95 Saturn SL1 from leaking coolant?

Answer 1

Wow! That last answer of duct tape and bubble gum was not funny and still not a proper answer. 1st, like on any car, you need to find out where it is leaking. Leaking hoses? You need to change the hose. What ever you do don't duct tape it. The only time you should use duct tape is if you are on the road and need an emergency fix, then by all means tape away. Same thing with radiator and some other components. If the leak is towards the back of the engine compartment (towards the back of the car) or more likely in the passenger side of the car, it is your heater core. Easy diagnosis, hard replacement. You'd need to disassemble the dash to get to it. Quick fix for heater core but could cause high temps and slight possibility of overheating is to bypass the heater core. Another possibility is the leak is from the engine, this is not good, could be many problems, water pump, gaskets, head gasket. If you find the leak, describe what you see (hose, connection) and you'll get a better idea of what you need to do. Hint, clean out the engine compartment 1st.
