You could have already done serious internal engine damage by driving it with a cooling problem. You need to have the system pressure tested to locate and repair the leak.

It's a hand pump that connects to the radiator. Some auto parts stores will loan or rent them.

It needs to be full of coolant but the engine won't be running.
