My 1994 SAAB is loosing it's antifreeze and I can not see any areas where is would be draining out of and there is no places where it shows that it is leaking out on to. Do you have any idea what could be happening?

Drain the old antifreeze. Add straight water and a chemical flushing agent from a parts store, and follow the instructions for using the flush. Then drain again, and replace the radiator and use a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water (distilled water, preferably-it is cheap) to fill up the cooling system. Leave the radiator cap loose, and start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature-the upper hose will be hot after the thermostat is opened, and the coolant level will drop some and need topping up.

It's a good idea to also change the thermostat while you are changing the radiator. If you are not replacing the radiator itself, but a lot of brown rust drains out, then take the radiator off and turn it upside down and flush out good with a water hose.

It's probably telling you that coolant (water & Antifreeze) is low. Container is at back of engine on firewall - typically next to the Brake master cylinder.

Refill up to the COLD mark when the engine is cold with 50/50 water and antifreeze. Close cap tight.

Yes, that's entirely possible, especially if it has hydraulic lifters. They sometimes get plugged and then don't function properly. And they are right in the top portion of the motor.

CHECK SPEEDOMETER CABLE IT COULD BE LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED OR SPEEDOMETER DRIVE GEAR BROKEN OR DAMAGED.

it should be in the trunk area


Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

are you loosing antifreeze. head gasket or cracked head?

check fuse or relay

The leak can be in form of steam /. mist from the freeze plugs on the engine block.

Coolant system should be flush every 2 years or 24,000 miles.

As a preventive measure,you should replace the $15 thermostat every 6 years and check the radiator/coolant cap condition.

were at on the passenger side? If its in the front floorboard,passengers side.the heater core may be leaking antifreeze.Also the a/c drain it also located in the same area.check your antifreeze,if not low,drive for a few miles with a/c on,stop on dry level place.there should be water dripping under passengers front.that is were the a/c drain is supposed to be.

The oil leak at bottom of radiator could be oil cooler and/or supply hose. Try check closely for wettest area .
The other leak could be thermostat cover, it only uses a sealing ring and is prone to leaking after time.
