  • Leaking coolant

    Yesterday, I put my car on the lift to lube up the axles and suspension component and liquid was dropping from the k-member. I smelled it and it smells like coolant. It is dripping alot and I need to get it fixed. The coolant it all over the passenger side of the k-member and it leaks so much that it will form a puddle if I have the car parked.
    I cant find out where the leak is coming from. Anyone have any idea? I checked all the hoses in front of the engine to but couldnt find any leak. Its not near the radiator. Its not the thermostat houseing. I have no idea where it is from.
    Anyone have any clue where the leak is coming from? I'm hoping its a hose or something easy to fix.

    I can almost guarantee you right now its your water pump. Check the weep hole and see if the area around the water pump is wet. I had the same exact problem, put a new water pump in and no more leaks.
