ON a oil dipstick its a sure sign your head gasket is blown. I was lucky once on a camaro where it was just the intake head and not the cylinder head

Is there a coolant reservoir on 96 ford probe 4-cylinder and how to refill coolant for it?

( Yes ) on a 1996 Ford Probe the fill for the engine coolant reservoir is located in the engine compartment , between the battery and the drivers side fender . There is a dipstick attached to the cap and with the engine cool the dipstick should indicate that the coolant level is up to the L mark Remove the cap with dipstick , wipe the dipstick clean and reinstall the cap , remove the cap again and check the coolant level . If it shows below L it came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and GREEN colored antifreeze meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A so you would want to add coolant

How do you check coolant level in a 1999 Dodge Durango?

There is a plastic tank mounted on the top of the radiator, there should be a yellow cap marked "coolant" on your right hand side, this tank also holds your washer fluid which is on the left hand side so be careful to make sure the cap you are removing is marked "COOLANT".... Once you pop the cap there will be a little dipstick located inside, youll check your coolant level with that. If the dipstick is missing youll want to fill the tank about 2 inches from the bottom of the tank lid.
