there are so many places it can leak. without seeing it, we are just guessing.

anyway, you need a shop to put in some dye and they use a ultraviolet light to find the source.

although the water pump is the most common leak, do not be so quick to dismiss the possibility that it is leaking.

I have a 2002 Intrepid ES. I have the same problem with mine also. Just had new hoses and thermostat installed a week ago. I noticed a leak and took it back to the shop that did the work. I Found out today that it is the heater pipe that comes from the thermostat housing to the heater core, it is rotten from the inside out. Dealer only item... $195.00 plus installation. Good luck with your repair and hope that it isn't horribly expensive.

this may or may not be your issue but it is a wild guess. guess's are expensive and most likely wrong. you need a dyeinserted to see the exact leak.
