Coolant Leak Near Passenger Tire? My 98' Z/28 is leaking coolant near the passenger tire, directly below the overflow tank.
It didn't start doing this until recently, the little dash light came on letting me know I had low coolant so I checked it out, and noticed later that day a little tiny puddle under my right fender, in front of the right tire exactly.
Is there a hose that could have came loose on the coolant tank, or do these commonly crack?
My car has 139K miles on it. I've had it since it had 129K. It just recently started doing this.

LS1 car might be different. But my 96 has a rubber and metal coolant line that run directly underneath the battery! If your battery leaks acid it corrodes this line and causes the leak you're describing. I'd pull the battery and have a look.
