If the coolant is more than 5 years old, it would be recommended to drain, flush and refill the coolant system with a fresh antifreeze mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water. This should protect the system down to -34 degrees F. A close inspection of hoses, radiator and possible replacement of the thermostat would also be recommended.
It is usually best to add the correct mix of antifreeze and water (usually 50/50). In a situation where there is no antifreeze available, yes, add water, then check the coolant later to see if the mix is adequate, and adjust the mix if necessary.
It is possible that the antifreeze is coming from a bad water pump. Clean the engine off. Watch it to see where the antifreeze is leaking from, as it could be a hose instead of the pump.
Clean it out!! water will not hurt an alternator but Antifreeze will breakdown the varnish on the Stator windings! Oils is bad but Antifreeze is worse.
yes, but you need to get rid of all of the dex-cool first... needs flushed really really good then you can replace the cool with normall cool (green). Now there are some Universal Antifreeze that will mix with dex-cool. that coolant says on the bottle ANY COLOR, ANY MAKE, ANY MODEL....
no
Two problems that I can think of are you need to add some antifreeze or you need to replace the thermostat.

It doesn't have one per se. The antifreeze overflow serves as the car's radiator cap. If you need to add antifreeze, add it there.
The float inside the coolant tank is stuck. Remove the screw that holds it on and shake it.
Yes. Never add pure antifreeze. Pure antifreeze will actually freeze before a 50/50 mix. Add coolant that is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. You can buy it already pre-mixed.
The color is green, that is the color of antifreeze that you need to use in your sebring.
If the vehicle is cold yes but make sure you mix the antifreeze with water before you add it, 50-50 is the best mix.
Umm, you pour it into the radiator. You know, the place that you drained it from.....
No , it's best to add coolant when the engine is cold
Drain the antifreeze.
Check the coolant reservoir in the engine compartment. There are marks to assist you with proper level. If it's empty you need to add coolant ASAP.
You will need to look underneath to see what part the coolant is leaking out of. When you find the source, you will know the failed part.
you open the plastic bottle and pour in the antifreeze
