i was driving my car on the freeway and then i exited and my car was telling me to add coolant, but i had added coolant about 30 min ago so i stopped the car and steam was coming out and my car was bleeding coolant. THe next day i added more coolant and then turned on the car and the car still bleeds coolant. If you are looking at the engine from the front of the car it would be leaking from somewhere on the right side of the engine. PLZ HELP I NEED MY DAMN CAR. WHat is the thing that is leaking??

Note: It is accepted that right is the passenger side. Left and right are determined by the position while sitting in the driver's seat.
The most common leak is the hose which leads out from below the oil filter and into the firewall. This is the feed hose for the heater core. What happens is that oil drips onto this hose, during oil changes and from the common oil leak in that area. This oil caontaminates the rubber, and brakes it down. The hose becomes soft and pliable, and eventually, under pressure, splits and forms a leak. I would check that hose first.
They are $20 new from the dealership.
