Don't know what the problem is, but you can fill the radiator with just water
temporarily until you determine the problem. That's just for short-term.
You'll want to drain and refill w/ a 50/50 mix of water/antifreeze.

My car has been slow in starting. It won't start via the battery but the lights
do work so I don't think it's a bad battery. I am able to start the car by
jumping it down a hill but the last time i did this, it overheated, a bunch of
green stuff came out of the radiator and now it won't do anything. No engine
turn over at all and frankly, I am afraid to try and jump it again. Admittedly,
it's been hot here - over 100 most days but I have driven it in the heat
before.
I am clueless about what to do as are the mechanics I have spoken to. Any input
would be most appreciated and please, speak to me as if I were a 8 year old.
Finally, I will have to fill the radiator. What do I use to fill it?
As always, thanks and best regards,
Rick
