It doesn't leak for no reason, If its never been changed? how many miles on it 100,000 Change it. Once, it fully FAILS... it will cook the engine very fast (head gaskets) unless you shut down even faster.

My Chrysler 300 was leaking coolant very badly and it ended up being my oil filter housing check around your oil filter for coolant
