Coolant Leak

[FattyMcBaggins]

I just bought my first car...a '90 240 with 120,000 miles on it. I'm having some problems with it right now. I stopped the car the other day and there was a white smoke pouring out of the hood. I think I might have an oil leak or something...? I know that there is a coolant leak, because I filled up my coolant "tank" last night, and it is empty already. I know that I need a new "tank" because it's got a crack in the top, but all of the coolant leaked out when the car was parked overnight, and couldn't have possible leaked out through the crack in the TOP of the tank. Any suggestions?

no it wouldnt have leaked out of the top of the tank if the cars just sitting there. check your radiator hoses and check the clamps to make sure there tight. check the ground to see where its leaking from.

check your radiator hoses for cracks check the raditor cap for leaks check the neck on the block (where the thermostat goes)for leaks. extend one arm flaten hand with nuckles out and in a reverse motion firmly apply hand to sellers face!!!
