The radiator on these vehicles are known to spring leaks at the tanks on the radiator. The radiator needs to be replaced. The a/c would need to be checked to see if the problem was related to the radiator leaking it lost some pressure or the radiator and AC condensor got damaged from road debris hitting it. I recommend you have a mechanic, like ones from YourMechanic, come by and inspect your car’s leakage problems.
