Re: How do I put coolant in my oldsmobile shilouette?
Add coolant to the overflow tank. when needed, the radiator will **** coolant from the overflow into the radiator. coolant is added to the overflow tank due to this being a closed - pressurized system

A worn water pump is the most likely. If the coolant is going down, the water is going somewhere.
The most common reasons an Oldsmobile Alero is overheating are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat. Coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.)

the load sensor is probably broken. It connects the rear axle to the frame to measure load. Its mounted on the left side of the rear axle. Its commonfor these to become damaged if the vehicle is lifted by the frame rather than by the axle. Looking at the part you will probably see the sensor arm hanging loose.
Change the thermostat,and bleed the air out of the system,and make sure the cooling fans are coming on,and then going off,on there own,with the ac off,if this was helpful,please rate,thank you.
You need to replace the upper intake manifold. The coolant will get on top of the pistons and they will not fire. Take all of the plugs out and turn over to get the coolant out and put new ones back in after the new manifold is put on. You can break the starter housing if you don't get the coolant out. A common problem with this engine but the new manifold has been re-designed to last longer.
On a lot of vehicles there is a transmission speed sensor that receives data that tells it how fast the car is going and shifts accordingly. If this sensor is bad the transmission can't function properly. I would have this checked, they are not that terribly expensive, and not that hard to change on most vehicles. Hope this helps.
