1. Park your car in a safe, level spot. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
2. Locate the source of the leak. The most common place for an antifreeze leak is the radiator or the hoses that connect it to the engine. If the source is not obvious, inspect the entire cooling system for cracks, holes, or loose connections.
3. If the leak is coming from the radiator, you may be able to repair it with a radiator sealant. This is a temporary solution, but it can stop the leak long enough for you to get to a mechanic.
4. If the leak is coming from a hose, you may be able to replace it yourself. Purchase the correct hose from an auto parts store and follow the instructions that come with it.
5. If you are unable to repair the leak yourself, take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible. Antifreeze is poisonous, so it is important to get the leak fixed as soon as possible.
