Antifreeze leak.....

Went for a 220 miles ride yesterday, most of it highway, most of it 80+, sometimes 110+.

Temp gauge never moved from normal the whole time. I just changed the antifreeze 3 weeks ago, yes Dexcool.

This morning found a puddle of antifreeze under the car when I backed it out. Noticed the smell of antifreeze in the garage after I had parked later last night.

Any thoughts? 73 K miles on the car. Water pump? Hose(s)?

Thanks.

Get a flashlight and start checking !! If you can get your hands on a pressure tester it will make it alot easier to check.

I did and it appears to be coming off the bottom of the water pump area. Guess its time to put a new pump on.
