I have a 1997 saturn sc1. It has 213,000 miles on it and it runs great. But I have noticed that I have to refill the anti freeze every 2 weeks. It's not leaking from under the car or out the exhaust pipe like it would if the head was blown. Ichanged the air fiter today and it was soaked in anti freeze. What would cause anti freeze to get in the air filter box? My radiator is sealed and the resevoir is on the other side of the car from the air box.

Check or replace the gaskets on the throttle body, antifreeze runs through some of em, yours must be one! Relieve fuel pressure at the rail, drain down some of the antifreeze, remove the coolant hoses from the throttle body remove throttle body scrape old gasket off and replace!
