My coolant was empty so I added the proper 50/50 coolant.
Heater worked for a day or so then my reservoir was empty again.
So I ran down to leak replaced the hose.
Now my car does not get up to operating temperature and I get no hot air from heat.
Thinking thermostat or maybe need to flush system.

Probably air in system, try revving engine to 2500 rpm for a few minutes then back to idle for a minute. Repeat three times and make sure coolant bottle is full.
