Hello --
Two days ago the engine overheated which I caught in plenty of time -- added mixture of water and antifreeze to appropriate line. Drove the car yesterday -- fine no problem -- no overheating.
Last night the temperature fell to freezing -- unusual for New Orleans -- and this afternoon when I tried to start the car the engine wouldn't turn over -- pretty sure it's not the battery as radio, lights etc are all working. I checked the level of antifreeze and it was low again. I added more about two hours ago so maybe I have a slow leak.
My question is that I'm afraid I froze the engine block by not having enough fluid -- is there any hope?
Thanks in advance,
Kate
