Alight, 1991 Honda Accord which probably has a cracked radiator. I've been topping it up before I drive anywhere and I'm going to get it fixed tomorrow.
How long would it take for a mechanic to repair or replace it?

>i'm going to get it fixed tomorrow

how you came to this conclusion:
>oh, look the coolant is low!
>let me just add some and not inspect ANYTHING

Enjoy your $800 headgasket.

Coolant is pooling out the bottom after a period of time, filling it up one day and the next its half empty. I think thats a radiator leak

Are you sure its from the radiator and not from the hoses or block? Are you sure that its not condensation from the AC condenser?

Drive you car for a bit and once you park open the hood and feel the radiator hoses. If they are soft then your system isn't holding pressure. Inspect the hoses and radiator cap, if both are fine then it might be a leaking radiator.

I'll have a look at those, but I haven't been using the air con at all. Also the water was green so I'm pretty sure it was coolent. It could be the resivoir but I've even topped up the radiator itself (when the engine is cold of course) and its still half empty the next day

It could be the radiator but you should eliminate all other causes first. It could even be your water pump or front cover seals, depending on your car.
