what type of coolant should i use on my saturn 96 sc2. i read that the color of the cap should be the color of the coolant which i have opposite colors and maybe that could be why my coolants leaking when i just got the whole radiator and everything replaced..i would appreciate any type of coolant names i could buy. (the cap is orange and ive been puttin in green antifreeze.)

the coolant type changed mid-year 1996, type of coolant depends on VIN, i don't have the exact change over VIN number, but your local saturn dealership should. then use what ever they say but flush your system at least twice with only water, flush more times if needed. if the leak points are only slight amount weeping from the hoses, make sure the clamps aren't to loose or to tight, also ask your parts guy about GM part # 12378254 - cooling system seal tablets, they are designed to help seal small leaks.
