Engine Cooling problem
1994 GMC Jimmy V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I recentlly found out that my truck will not hold antifreeze. I put the antifreeze in the intake tank and it all leaked out the next day. I was putting in a gallon a day for about a week and it was getting a little much. So I started putting it straight into the radiator because I didnt want my engine to lock up with it being winter. It was fine for about a week and it was leaking out of the radiator as well. Then I started hearing a clicking noise so I would put more antifreeze in the radiator and I wouldnt hear the noise anymore. So everytime I was hearing the clicking noise, there wasnt anything in my radiator. And now its over heating. Please help me!

You need to find out where the coolant is going. From what it sounds like you have a failed head gasket or a cracked head/block. Does it have coolant in the oil? If not you're lucky. You need to get this taken care of SOON. It may already be to late to save the engine though.
