I have a radiator leak in my car. The reservoir tank is on the passenger side, yet it leaks from under the driver side. My car starting running hot again, and once i put anti-freeze in it, it stopped. I am thinking that it may just be a leak in one of the tube running from the reservoir tank to the radiator. Any suggestions?

obtain a pressure tester and pressurize the system and see where your leak is coming from. you may have a bad water pump
