Pontiac Repair: Coolant leak and fan not coming on, coolant leak, vihicle


Question
QUESTION: I have a 1991 Pontaic Sunbird.  My engine has been running hot and I noticed a leak coming from under the car.  The leak is not near the radiator and the coolant was low, so I filled it up and nothing.  When I drive it short distances and stop, it leaks again and coolant runs out.  The fan is not coming on either.  Any suggestions?  There is fuild in the radiator.

ANSWER: Hi
I REALLY need the engine size to help.
My best advice, though, would be to take it to a repair shop, and get the coolant leak professionally diagnosed.
They'll be able to fill vihicle with water, and pressure test system and pinpoint exact location of leak. They'll also be able to give an estimate of repiars.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck
Paul
