I just recently bought a 1997 jeep wrangler in really good shape and with low miles. I had been driving it for about 2 weeks and realized that it had been using a lot of coolant. I thought I found out the problem with my radiator when I found a leak. So i replaced my radiator and I recently looked again at my coolant and it is still using quite a bit of coolant. Please help so i can get this fixed before I go back to school.

WHen you relaced the radiator, are you sure it was full? Also, have you noticed any coolant on the ground where you park the vehicle? Finally, does the vehicle have any white smoke coming from the exhaust?
