My low coolant light came on, I added antifreeze. A couple of days later the add coolant light came on again, but it didn't stay on. Then I was driving and suddenly my heat/defrost was blowing cold. Went to Autozone they said it was the thermostat, well inhad to add antifreeze again, took to mechanic said it's not thermostat but a leak in one of the hoses. Need advice

You need to have the leak fixed, otherwise you gonna keep adding coolant and who knows the leak will get worst and cause the engine to overheat and blow the headgasket and other stuffs
