My car is leaking near the middle of the car, we check the oil and the transmission fluid. They are fine. The antifreeze was down and took 1 gallon. Any ideas? I need to drive it today and can take it in for repairs tomorrow. Is is ok to drive?

I wouldn't recommend it, if it is a small problem now, if you overheat an aluminum head, you will be in much worse shape! Find and fix that leak first.
