It's a 89' Volvo 740GL. The coolant is leaking. How shall I get it fixed? Need to change the whole thing?

Thanks Vestax for the prompt responce.

Anyone can back this up?

is it very difficult to tell without seeing it personally...but it looks like a blown gasket...any oil leaking? Check your engine oil and see if any water has mixed with the oil...
