Losing coolant

Postby driver22ryan » November 5th, 2010, 5:21 pm

Hi, I was just wanting to know why my car is losing so much coolant and water. I have a 98 El Fairmont and every time I top it up it leaks like a tap and it is pissing out heat in the front air vents particually the right hand drivers side but the rear vents located on the arm rest at the back of the car are still pumping cool air and what can I do to fix this or at least know what needs to be fixed?
