    Coolant has been leaking for 2 years. It is cheeper to buy more coolant than to repair.

    Water pump gasket had worn out and was leaking coolant causing the engine to overheat. I removed the water pump and replaced with a new one from auto zone. It was a hassle getting to some of the bolts and the serpentine belt had to be removed for access.
