Here it is quick, I believe I have a coolant leak and can't get my car checked out until next week. My low coolant light is continuously on and my temp gauge sometimes reaches the red. That said, my car never runs differently and has yet to overheat. I'm convinced there's a leak or something stopping the coolant from reaching the radiator because every 2 days or so I'm having to put in a full bottle of coolant.
My question is (because I still need to drive it to work), it is a prediluted coolant but can I still add water to the tank? (My 2005 Grand Am doesn't have a radiator cap) I need to keep it from overheating for just a few more days. I know the coolant bottle says "do not add water" but is it because it'll fuck it up, or it just isn't necessary?
Water is obviously cheaper than coolant and I only drive it to work and this point.
Thanks.
