First, do not drive it without coolant. When you refill the coolant, MAKE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT TYPE. Some of the vans use Dexcool coolant and it CAN NOT be mixed with other types.

Next, Once the coolant is refilled, keep an eye on where there is a leak coming from. It could be many things, radiator, water pump, radiator hose, head gasket, intake gasket, freeze plug.

Let me know what area it is coming from, front, rear, sides.
