Dear Elpaso It appears that your car has a bad hose leak somewhere or possibly a radiator with a small leak uaually at the bottom surface. Add water to the radiator, start the car let it warm up. After it is warm ( check the gauge). Look under the vehicle to see if there is water dripping. If you see water try to pin point the exact location. Also, being a 91 car, your water pump could be worn out.(The bearing seal), and they will leak constantly thru , what is called a weep hole at the bottom of the pump. check it also If that is the case and you are not mechanical,find someone that is and let them help. If you do this repair yourself, be sure to clean off the old gasket on the motor and use appropriate tube sealeant. good luck Bill
