Anti-Freeze goes here or there?
Are you supposed to pour antifreeze directly into the cooling fan through the radiator cap hole or do u fill up the white reservoir to the left of the fan that has the hose going to the fan??

the coolant doesn't go into the fan it goes in the radiator and through the motor. the fan just pulls air through the radiator to help cool it. what are you trying to do refill the system after a flush or are you just adding coolant ?

If you engine is hot you can add fluid in the overflow bladder, if you engine is cool you can add into the radiator. Be sure not to confuse the overflow with the Wiper fluid canister.

you should top off the radiator ( when cold ) and fill the reservoir up to a little more than half way between the min and max lines. do you have any leaks cause the reservoir shouldn't empty completely.

This happens to me over a long period of time. What is the best [ easiest ] way to check for leaks?
