    So latly my 2004 Grand Prix GTP(competition group) has been over heating everytime i go anywhere. I open up the hood and the coolant is all gone or there is little left. I will wait for it to cool down then add more then go home and by the time i get home all of the coolant is gone again. This has been happening for some time now and i have no idea what is wrong with it. I checked the tubes and the bottle to see if there were leaks and there were not any. Also when I leave the car in the driveway for 6 hours after filling it up with coolant again it is almost all gone when I come back out. I think it is something within the engine but what could it be? I need help soon.

    A guess would be intake manifold gasket are shot and causing the coolant to go away and letting air into the system and making it over heat and lose coolant.

    It was the lower manifold gaskets. Thank you are sorry this took awhile. I didn't have any money to fix it so my car has been sitting in the drive way since November till now.

    I hope you changed your oil after all of this. Most likely you were dumping coolant into your oil and that is not a good thing. If you don't get all of the coolant out of your oil, you will destroy your motor.

    Just a heads up !
