Coolant light is triggered but can't find the leak. Can u tell me where to look. There is a pump that is located on the right side of the engine but I can't figure out what it is.

Check the hose between the coolant jug and the radiator, check the radiator itself, check around the intake and heads. What I recommend doing is to get a pressure tester for the cooling system. It pumps pressure into the radiator and if there is a leak, usually you can find it. Also, they make a dye that can be placed in the coolant that shows up under a black light. That may help.
