Leaking Coolant.
Monday, March 16, 2009 11:44 AM
so this morning i woke up and there was a puddle of coolant about half the size of the sun visor sitting under the left side my car. looked under it and it was dripping from the suspension bar. popped the hood, that suspention bar was filled with coolant, and i couldn't tell if it was leaking from the radiator or one of the hoses. but it's a really slow leak so i'm guessing it's the radiator and not the hose? cuz i'm pretty sure if it was a hose there would be coolant spurting like blood from an artery.

Pop the hood and start the car, let it get up to temp and leave it running, from there you should be able to see where the leak is comeing from alot easier.it could still be a hose spraying when at temp, once it cools the coolent that sprayed will continue to drip for a while off of anything it got onto.
