I'm quite upset.
I was driving today and i saw my "add coolant" light turned on. And my car's water temp started to rise gradually. Once it was at 210F, I just pulled over to the side.
Popped the hood, and coolant steam was coming out from underneath the car.
Luckily I was near Sears, so I just bought 2 bottles of 50/50 just to top off my reservoir and radiator once it cooled down a bit. Then i drove it at a moderate speed going home. I tried not to make the temp rise up to 250F. I made it home safely. But, now I'm worried about what had happened.
I looked under the car, the leak seems to be coming from the block somewhere but not sure yet. I'll check it out later once it's cooled. =[

Please, don't bring these cars to mechanics that don't know anything about them. It seems like they do more harm than good.
There is SO much great information and help on this forum, that you should be able to diagnose these things yourself.
