thats coolant and its your water pump man...thats exactly what mine did..got it replaced and no more probs...if you want a ac delco pump from the dealer ship it will run you about $300 or so...after market about $130-150....as mentioned before , you can do it at home....

I would lean towards the water pump as well. Mine did not leak but seized up about three weeks ago. I got a new rebuilt from Napa for $119, just buy the gaskets with it. They will tell you it comes with a set, smile and nod politely and then spend the $8 on a set anyway. A new thermostat will be needed if you haven't changed yours recently becausde the seal will tear. Otherwise just get a new gasket for that too.It will take about and hour and a half you will need a 15mm for the tensioner, and all bolt on the pump are 10mm, you will need a 10mm wrench as well. Lifting the A/C up to the top of it's holder helps a lot. Just remember to refill the radiator when it all is said and done, using Install U is the best method for the refill. Hope that helps!

I have the same issue but not that much fluid. I smelled it and it's definitely coolant. I'm hoping it's a hose or water pump gasket, since it'll be easier to fix. I'm going to wipe everything down and drive a bit and try to find the seepage. Did you figure your source of the leak?
