Engine problem
2002 Oldsmobile Alero 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 106000 miles

I have noticed a redish-orange on my garage floor recently under the front of the car on the passenger's side. It has become quite a puddle over the past week. This morning, my temperature light came on. I put more coolant in, however the coolant light is still on. What is going on? Will this be a costly repair? I have not had any problems with the way the car is running at all.

Hi there,

Any coolant leak should be investigated, Have a cooling system pressure test done, this will help locate the leak, hopefully it may lust be a minor problem, but left unresolved it could turn into a major headache.
