I mean where is it leaking from exactly..

Might catch some shhh for this one but, you can pour some black pepper in the reservoir and it will act as a homemade stop leak.

When i was a lot younger and slightly broker than i am now, i had a radiator leak on my first gen explorer. Could not afford to get it fixed for a while so my uncle told me pour black pepper in the reservoir.. i was like BS.. but did it anyways.. well, it stopped the leaking for a good while. Since you’re likely going to have to drain/flush out the system anyways on the repair it’s not the end of the world.

Only recommend as a temporary measure, surely you should get it attended to asap either by shop or as a diy project but the pepper thing will keep you from being sidelined.
