3.0 Overheating and loosing antifreeze...
the other night I was driving home and noticed that the needle was leaning towards the read and the heat would not work... had no idea why. when I got home, I noticed that there was no more antifreeze in the reservoir. there was steaming pushing through the seals of the cap and antifreeze below the reservoir and leaking down to the ground on the drivers side. has anyone had a problem like this before? could it be a busted reservoir? or rotted hoses? I refilled the bottle, drove a few miles and everything was fine. heat worked. but by the end of the night the whole thing was gone again. I am taking it to get checked out but if it is something I can fix I'd like to save the money. thanks.

Take it to a service station and have them pressure test your system, it will pin point the exact location of the leak. You'll go mad trying to find it yourself...
If you keep driving like that you will warp your heads and or block so your 100 dollar repair just jumped up to 4K for a new block and heads....
good luck
