I had the radiator replaced about 5,000 miles ago give or take. I started it one day to loss of heat and temperature sitting above normal around 210. Opened the hood to find a large leak with coolant sprayed all over the passenger side of the engine bay. Leak seems to running down from the bottom of the transmission or engine. Still cannot find the origin of the leak. Please help thanks.

Best to get a cooling system pressure test done while on a hoist so you can inspect under the engine with a torch, you can do this just as easily with a home jack and safety stands, never get under a car on a jack only. We want to see you back here in 2018.
