Coolant Leak after car was in Sun all day...Bad gasket/WP? I started the car today after work with remote. Came outside and saw coolant sitting underneath the car enough to fill a soda can!
Waited few minutes started to leak again but less this time. Drove home fine without fan's kicking on or temp gauge going over anywhere above normal.
Car's waterpump was changed 2 years ago with new gasket.
I started the car few times after i got home no crazy leaks like that after.
Need help since its my DD.
Thanks in advance!

Gonna have to get it up to operating temp, put the front end on ramps. Flashlight, and check to see where its coming from.
If its the water pump seal, it probably leaked out earlier when you got there and shut the engine off for awhile. Never know, just depends on how bad that seal is. If its the water pump at all.
