Engine burning coolant

Hey guys,
I was hoping I could get a little help with the problem I am having with my Buick.
I have to fill the coolant every morning and it evaporates in less than a day.
One mechanic poured some kind of leak stopper or something and the coolant lasted for months but now the problem has come back.
I was wondering if anyone knows of what I can pour into the radiator to stop the coolant from burning so quick.
Thanks,
Sonny

What engine?
Sounds like the first band-aide failed and its time to fix it right or condemn it.

Welcome to AF
It would help to include the year and engine size in future posts to avoid confusion or multiple suggestions. Most likely, your Century has the 3.1 engine, and if so, your intake gaskets have left the building (a very common issue on these cars).
