you might have a leak somewhere. when i got on it i smelt coolant. i found out by looking under the car i and pin point where iys coming from. id let the car cool down and tthen looked to see where it was coming from. check your radiator hoses under the intake manifold hoses and heater hose. good luck

Probably got a rotted out cooling/heating system - radiator and heater core!
That would be my *guess*...

I had a hairline crack in my top radiator shroud. Run the car parked and rev it for a bit and have someone look tto see where its coming from.

you need to do a pressure test, if the cooling system wont hold pressure you know !00% there is a leak and while under pressure you can look for said leak
