Losing Coolant!!!!

When i Checked my 1995 240sx SE, i saw that my temp guage was going up high, so i turned off the car and saw that there was no coolant. Ive been having to refill my coolant every once in a while. Whats going on here? Can anyone help me? Does it have anything to do with the heater not working? Please help.

Also check to see if your overflow canister has any cracks in it.

Here are some 1995 problems:

Trouble Spots

Air conditioner: Poor air-conditioner performance due to compressor-joint seals that tend to leak. (1995-96)

Brakes: Nissan issued a voluntary recall to replace a defective diode that will not turn on the low-brake-fluid-warning light. (1995)

Dashboard lights: The check-engine light may come on and set an erroneous trouble code for the crankshaft position sensor if certain wires in the computerized engine-control circuits are not kept separated from one another. (1995)

*Engine temperature: The engine tends to overheat if any air trapped in the cooling system is not properly bled. (1995)


Hope this helps

Go to autozone and get a leak tester, I'm willing to bet you just have a leak.
