Q: Antifreeze leak!

asked by on August 14, 2017

Hi. I have a 04 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. When I pour antifreeze in the reservoir it goes straight out. Its not leaking on the ground or in my oil. I just had a water outlet put on but I'm so confused as to where the antifreeze is going. Please help! Thanks
