I have the vehicle named above. This morning after driving to work, I
noticed that the engine temperature was much higher than normal, and
there was coolant on the ground. Then I tried the heat in the car, and
only cool air would blow out from the heater. I turned off the car
immediately.

I don't know if this is the water pump, a hose, or the radiator. I
have an appointment with my mechanic in a few days.

Can I drive this vehicle at all without damaging it? May I drive it
short distances if I watch the heat guage? Thanks for the
information...

You can drive it but it will destroy the engine. Leave it parked and have it
towed to the mechanic if you don't know how to check the coolant level and
make sure there is enough to cool the engine....
