My car is leaking ant-freeze, I think it is leaking from resovior not sure, my car was over eating, now that I put antifreeze in the raditor my car is not over heating, I am confused about what should I do, is it the coolant resovior or something else?

I would take it in to a shop that will do a pressure test. With that it can be determined if it is the resovior or the radiator or a hose or? With out a this it would just be guessing and that can cost money.

My 1998 Mazda 626 had problem with losing antifreeze also, but never when parked, so no leak. If you get a puddle while parked and turned off, this wont be of any help
My Mech said my Mazda has pressurized reservoir tank.
The cap for the radiator and reservoir fit each other and had the wrong cap on the wrong one.
The cap with the seal on it goes on the reservoir and stops fluid from flowing out the overflow unless excessive pressure builds up. Hope your is this easy
