Hey all!

I went to get my oil changed and they usually refill all my fluids. The guy says my radiator has been shot? He showed me that inside the coolant reservoir it is "clay/soap" like and I would need to replace my radiator.

I am broke and I do not know what to do. There currently is no coolant in the reservoir and wondering if there is anything I can possibly do to fix this? Is tehre any short term fix I can do untill I can save up to buy a new one?

SLAM ON THE BRAKES!

Fill the system with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and drive it. Keep an eye on the level of the coolant.

POST BACK if you are losing coolant or having any problems,

Panic-not. At least right now :wink:
