Angry 86 century custom stalling problem

I can't seem to find where the antifreeze is leaking out of the car. I have to fill it everyday. The water tank is full but empties when car overheats. Any suggestions. I think its a hose but can't seem to locate any leaks. I need to replace it before i blow my motor. Please help!!!

Well the first question is, are you seeing any steam from the tailpipe? Also check the color of your oil and see if it looks milky. Check the antifreeze to see if there is any oil there. If you have any one or more of these problems you possibly have a blown head gasket. Somewhere to begin anyway.

The problem was the water pump was leaking at the seal. I put in a new water pump and it works great. I still need to replace some plugs and the air filter thanks for your help.

Glad you found the problem man! That is certainly better than the alternative of a blown head gasket!!!
