Need help!
Before i start, i need to say that my english suck! 
I own a 90 n/a
My radiator blew last week, so i bought a new one and get it installed. After that, my gauge ADD COOLANT lighted and buzzed so i took my car back to the garage and they fill up the car because he miss coolant. After that i go for a cruise to see if all goes well, but the ADD COOLANT lights up again. The guys who saw my car told me that it might be a gasket on the motor that blew and thats why my prestone blew or something like that. Can someone help me?! Do i need a new motor or i can get this repair....
Thx in advance
David

They change the sensor at the same time as they change de radiotor...
Anyone?!?
One of the hoses blew, so I took my car back to the garage, they changed it. And now, my car as the check engine lighted. I lost my prestone when i came back from the garage and the ADD COOLANT lights up again. I think i will buy another motor and trans for 700 ca.

Get the coolant system pressure tested for leaks. You may have a leak you can not find. I thought the same thing as you when I first got my car but ended up I needed a new water pump and radiator.
