Hello,
I have been noticing a coolant leak from my car for about a month now. Whenever I park my car after about a minute there will be a pretty decent size trail of coolant leaking out. So I put it up on jacks and let it run for about 5 minutes, turned it off, crawled underneath and noticed a leak where a hose connects into the radiator on the bottom drivers side. I removed the hose to see if it was cracked and it wasn't. Which got me thinking it was a connection in the radiator. Then the other day, after parking it, I noticed another pool of coolant, only this time it was more towards the middle of the car and further back. So I have two ideas, one, bad radiator. Two, that maybe its the waterpump and its leaking down different parts, depending on where I park the car. So what do you guys think? I just dont want to buy a radiator only to still find a leak. Thanks for any input.
