I had this problem recently.

Cooling fan broke down, aircon starts getting less cool. When i park and turn off the car, one of the hose feeding the coolant back to the radiator burst and coolant gushed out, fortunately no one was near the splash area.

Topped up water and drive to work shop, but continue to monitor temperature. When it gets too hot, stop at road side. After repairs, the engine does seems to have some issue. The heat build up could leave a permanent damage to the engine etc.

 

Better to tow in to workshop.

 

Topping up water is a stop gap measure only as you do not know the extend of the leak.

 

 

Hope it helps

I had same problem 3 weeks ago. Had to top up water and coolant continuously. In the end went to repair at the Caltex petrol station in Braddel CTE exit towards Bishan. Not sure if they open on sundays.

One day can be done ?

 

Just add tap water into the water tank and radiation when the car is cool.

If car has 1 yr left, just top up with water regularly and monitor how long does it last to empty. More than 1 yr, consider to repair.

Left 16 months and just wait to change car when COE at acceptable level . I just drove for 15km and just switch off the engine while waiting the traffic light .... So far I can see some leakage from the side .

16 mths is not a short time. U want to check and topup every 2 days? What's the point?

 

Then if you forgot and the engine is damaged, how?

 

Don't be penny wise pound foolish.
