My 97 3.8 L Mustang started overheating and sputtering on the highway so I pulled over and popped the hood. I could smell burned coolant and checked the radiator, there was no coolant at all there was also coolant all over the right side of the engine. I tried to put in coolant but it went straight through and ran out the bottom of the engine. It wont hold any liquid at all. The head gasket does not seem broken there is no white smoke from the exhaust and the oil doesn't look milky. If i turn the engine on it runs fine untill i put it into gear and it will sputter and eventually shut off.
Can someone help I don't want to take it to a mechanic because I don't have the money for it right now. It is sitting in a parking lot and I have no way to lift the car to check where the leak is coming from.
