These cars use radiators with metal cores and plastic end tanks. When the car is hot, look at the ends of the radiator to see if you see coolant seeping from the edge of the tanks. These tanks are prone to cracking over time. Being plastic, they cannot be patched, only replaced. Also, check the condition of the rubber hoses, including those to the heater core. Replace if they look old or cracked. A new radiator cap is a good measure item.
