My radiator tank is leaking lots of water very fast.? | Chinese Cars

Question by Alan: My radiator tank is leaking lots of water very fast.?
I have a 1998 Cadillac Catera ( I know, it isnt a very efficient or good car) and over the past few months, the radiator reserve tank would empty out over the course of about 300 miles. When that happens, I would just fill the tank up with water. Well I drove from Houston to Austin yesterday and I was fine for the entire trip but today I drove my car down the street. The radiator tank was empty again and I filled it up. About 2 miles down the road, the radiator tank was empty again. The car started to overheat and would only cool down when I was driving so I limited my idleness and stops. I took it to Advanced auto parts where the guy came out and showed me that I had a small tear in my lower radiator hose, but I know that the tear isnt big enough to leak that much water. Is there anything else I can do to find out what else is leaking or are there any reliable national chain auto shops that provide affordable diagnostics and repair. Could I do this myself.
