Back to square one HELP! So swapped the radiator out the other day ran it for a while no leaks no coolant sensor. Let it sit over night and there is a little puddle under the car in the morning. So I figured there was some coolant left over somewhere no big deal. Drive to the store get out and smell coolant. Let the car sit again over night and in the morning same puddle it appears to be leaking on the passenger side around the crossmember area. Any suggestions where to begin. I know I am going to have to tear into it but any common problems in that area I should look for? Thanks for the help.

had that same issue after a cam swap... i reused the factory clamp on the lower hose... it leaked out the same way... did you use hose clamps to get a good tight seal? the water pumps from gm are pretty stout in my opinionl... on a work van i was driving the the coolant cross over tube rusted out by the head and my boss replaced the water pump at that time... but the van has 284000 and it was on the original water pump

Water pump.....Had my rad out 3 times before figuring out it was the water pump. Take a good flash light and look right at the pulley shaft. If you see a fine mist coming from that area change the pump.
