002 Ford Taurus 6 cyc. Intermitted coolant leak. Vehicle is not overheating.
No indication of where leak is. Vehicle is ok driving for two to three days and then coolant appears on front passenger side under engine area. Resevore seems ok. Water/Coolant then has to be added. If not checked, coolant level will over time fall till vehicle overheats. I have run car for hours trying to see where leak is coming from (water pump, resevore, etc) and cannot located the problem. Any ideas?

You will have to get the system checked with a pressure tester, this will help locate any external leaks, also have the radiator cap checked as well.
