Ouch that sounds like what happened when my radiator cracked.. had to replace both the radiator and the fan.
It says don't add water because it was already mixed with water.. it's like 50/50 if I remember correctly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. -------------------- |

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. just buy coolant, its premixed antifreeze and water. you can take your car in and have it flushed or do it yourself. check out this link: http://www.carcentral.net/content/guides/H...olingSystem.php its kind of difficult so you may just want to get it professionally done/ have them replace the termostat too. |
