2000 Olds Alero engine problems?

Question

My 2000 Alero is leaking antifreeze from the back side of the engine every 3-4 days the over flowbottle goes empty but my car is not over heating suggesting a blown headgasket, does anyone knws why its leaking.

Answer 1

You have a bad intake gasket.  These cars have a notorious problem with the gaskets going bad.  I am assuming the car has the V-6 engine.  If it does you are looking at a long weekend or a nice repair bill.  

Answer 2

GO to autozone or Checker autoparts and see if they have an automotive cooling system checker that you can use. You put this on the radiator and pressurize the system and it will show you where the leaks are. Sounds to me like it is a hose that goes from the engine to the heater core.
