I have 93 Buick Park Avenue (3.8 liter) with 115,000 miles. The other day I noticed my 'coolant low' light on. The fluid did not look extremely low, so I added coolant and forgot about it. Two days later, same light comes on and when I checked the fluid level it was low in the radiator and also almost totally empty in the plastic reservoir. I also noticed a big puddle of fresh coolant on the driveway. So I filled everything again and looked for leaks with the engine off. Nothing. When I turned the car on I do not beleive it was leaking, but when I turned it off. A nice puddle was leaking underneath my car toward the back of the engine.
What the heck is going on?
Also, I bought my car 4 years ago and am not sure if I have ever heard the cooling fans go on. I know I have never seen them go on unless I make them go on by putting the car in diagnostic mode. Any ideas about this? Thank you for any help!
