    Antifreeze leak
    I have a 1994 nissan altima. The temp gauge started rising and I noticed I had no antifreeze. I added some and the next morning it was all over my driveway. What can I do? Is there a product you can use to stop the leak?

    Yes, there is a product you can use. Some say that you can use pepper if you can't get to a store. It might work, but I don't know about it. I think there is stuff called Stop Leak. You can find this stuff in almost any parts store or maybe a walmart. I think it is called Radiator Stop Leak or something along the lines of it.

    Before you go buying special parts that could be costly, first try checking the hoses. There are two, the second hose can be hidden undernieth. They have pumps that hook where the radiator cap goes, and will put pressure through the system, and you will be able to find the leak without worry of the car being on.

    I was just saying that if you can't find a leak, because I know I have had that trouble before that a quick additive might do the trick.
