Can you put in coolant yourself?
You can use diluted coolant by itself, or a 50/50 mixture of concentrated coolant and distilled water. When the coolant rises to the cold fill line, replace the cap and tighten it until you feel it click.
Why does antifreeze get low?
The coolant evaporation rate is quite low when the radiator cap is rusty, or the rubber is worn out. The radiator cap’s primary purpose is to maintain the coolant level and the reservoir pressure so that the Coolant can travel at the usual rate around the hose.

Can a leak in antifreeze not be detected?
Sometimes a leak may not be visible. Even if you have depleted coolant levels with no sign of leakage, you could still have an internal leak that isn’t detectable from the outside of your engine. Detecting a faint, sweet smell of antifreeze with no signs of a leak is also indicative of an internal leak.
