It must be leaking. Have the engine running, and see if you can see where it's leaking from.

check to see if you could find the leak first,..dont just go and buy a radiator just yet,...whats your temp gauge say when your car is on for awhile???

i believe they also have those radiator leak liquids where it can seal the leaks if they're small enough. just go to wal-mart, either that or like i said, buy a new one.

What other solutions do you think there could be? You lost a whole jug of coolant in two days. If there's a HOLE in the radiator, what do you think needs to be done about it? Come on man.

if theres a hole in the radiator,..then buy a new radiator,..should run you about 100 bucks,..check for leaks in the hoses though..check reall good,..buying hoses is way cheaper then buying a new radiator
