The low fluid light came on a couple of weeks ago, anti freeze way low. Put more anti freeze in it. 2 weeks have went by and the light came on, low on anti freeze looks light is leaking around the frontof engine. Where you put the oil in at the bottom of that looks like antifreeze on it, not sure if it blew on there while driving. What could it be? Thanks...
It sounds like the WaterPump is Bad. On this Car I would have a Mechanic Repair this. It can be Really tough to Replace on your Own. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

change mechanics --or bring back and have them fix correctly when they did the engine work doesnt sound like was done correctly and now you may have a bigger problem
Your mechanic needs to figure out where the coolant is going. If it is not showing up under the car or on the floor mats in the car, then the problem may be either a leaking head gasket or in your radiator. If it is the radiator, coolant may be getting into your engine oil and this is very serious.
You are leaking fluid. Check to see that the hoses don't have residual fluid on them indicating a leak. Also check to see if your water pump isn't leaking out the seal. Another thing to check is the oil dip stick. Make sure the oil looks normal and not watery indicating a crack in the block. These are only a couple of things I would start with.
check you coolant level. thos car are known for head gasket. if its a 2.2 liter check the fron right of the engine between cylinder head and engine block. if its a 3.1 the cylinder head crack behind the alternator mount. could also be you coolant thermostat. hope it help
You know now you have to check the fluids from time to time, at least once a week. Where the leak is will determine what has to be done to fix it. Could be several things, including a leaking head gasket.
Not the radiator is your problem. loosing coolant without leak the thermostat is the problem. Check your engine thermostat if it is working and if it is not,replace. it is located at right side of the radiator which connected to the engine, follow the radiator hose.
