AntiFreeze Leaked Out - Can I drive 20 feet?
I tried to start my 1987 300D when it was 11 below during the past couple of weeks(Chicago, IL). It did not start but primary cause was battery that was already run down (another story). The next day...I noticed antifreeze on the ground and my antifreeze tank in the car was empty. I am not very experienced but suspect some rubber either cracked (when shaked at -11) or my water pump went out. My car is in the driveway but not in the garage where I would ideally want to work on it, i.e. in a warm environment where I can jack up car.
My question is....can I start the car and run it for the 3 minutes it will take me to get it into the garage or will it overheat or will I run something? I tried pushing it but had very little success with the snow and ice. Oh...yeah...if anyone has any ideas what might have gone wrong...I would appreciate the suggestions. Thanks.
