hi i have a leak coming from the drivers side on the back of the engine its a v-6 i cannot actual see the leak but it is running down onto the exhaust pipe i do see a possible water line running down in the area but i am not sure if that is a cooling line? is it possible that it could be coming from the intake? the service engine light did come on right before the leak started and the engine has a miss at low idle now.

You need to have the computer scanned to determine why the light came on. Most parts stores will do it for free.

As far as the leak, it could be a couple things. The intake could be leaking, a freeze plug, heater core hose... You really need to take a mirror and try to see where it is coming from.

LEt me know if you have other questions and what you find.
