My son was driving his car and heard a noise pulled over and shut it off and all his antifreeze came out, we added more antiefreeze, but it wont start. It will turn over. We checked the oil and there is no water in it and its full. Thought about changeing spark plugs but not sure where they are at. The antifreeze was coming out somewhere around engine area.

Before starting the engine, determine where the leak is coming from. You need to pressure test the cooling system. Most parts stores will lend you the hand held pump that goes right on the radiator. Repair the leak before there is engine damage as a result of overheating.

As far as the no start, don't waste you money on plugs. They don't go bad that quick. Check to see if you are getting spark and fuel to the engine. One is most likely missing.

The only way for you to lose it -its either its burning in the cylinders or you have a leak somewhere.
