yeah though, like the other guys said, if it's overheating it's more
likely more than just needs coolant. even if it does need coolant. the
radiators on theese guys are tiny and it doesn't take a lot of clog to
make them need replacement. which isn't a big deal. but if you leave
it and it continues overheating, it will spring a head gasket leak.
hopefully that's not what's happening yet.
