Consider yourself lucky that the car is still running. Overheating due to lack of antifreeze will cause the rings to wear, among other things.

Get a compression test done. Two, one dry and the other 'wet'. Wet means adding 2 table spoons of oil to each cylinder before the test. This coats the rings and should increase compression. The engine should be 'warm' in both tests.

Check under 'shops' in the pull down menu at the top of the page.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
