93 saturn SL 4-door approx. 182,000 miles I recently replaced the cooling fan in my car and now it is leaking coolant. I am having to add more coolant almost everyday because the leak is so bad. I'm wondering what would cause the leak?

It depends where it leaks from! If the overlow tank is releasing it , it's one thing, but if it's from the engine, or radiator it's another, Pressure test it to find the leak! I suspect the fan installation may have poked a hole in the radiator!

Same thing is happening to my saturn. Where is the overlow tank located? It seems that the leak is connected to something under/ or at the bottom of the car. I don't think it would be the radiator, b/c it would be leaking in the front of the car. It may be the overlow tank or the engine. If so then what? Also my passenger side windowshield wiper isn't working. Is that an electrical problem or do i need to replace windowshield wiper motor for the passenger side if it has one? If so where is it located?

Thanks
