Ok so my coolant has been leaking for awhile now I think atleast. About every 2 weeks I need to refill the coolant. I had been using "orange" coolant up till last refill. I really needed some coolant, as it was seriously effecting engine tempurature, so i bought some normal "green" coolant. Some 50\50 coolant, so i put it in and the engine temperature leveled off. But many people tell me you cant mix green and orange coolant.... so problem is i got a mix of 2 different coolants in a leaking coolant system?! Is this serious and what should i do?

The difference between the orange and green coolant is that the orange coolant has been redesigned to help with corrosion of aluminum heads and blocks. If you mix green into a car with aluminum parts, you may get some corrosion. If you mix orange into a car with iron block and heads, it won't really affect anything. Although either of these scenarios aren't really a great idea, you aren't going to cause any serious damage by using the wrong coolant in the short term. In the long term, you of course will want to get the leak fixed and get the right coolant in there for your own peace of mind. GOOD LUCK!
