Take a sniff of the fluid, if it smells sweet, its your coolant.

Its either head gasket or water pump.

They both can be done at home but if you don't have the time or tools there both pretty expensive to fix.

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?
