We've had some cold mornings. I noticed when the we started the van to let it warm up it was leaking coolant on the driveway. After it warms up it stops. Just a little puddle. Its leaking off the bottom of the motor on the p/s side towards the back, but there signs of leaking on d/s side. Its hard to tell with everything so cram packed. I recently changed the water pump, don't seem to be leaking from there. Its not leaking around the thermostat. I replaced the temperature gauge sending unit, looked like it might be leaking from there but it still leaking not from there. What freeze plugs that I can see there not leaking. My local tire shop put 15psi on it and it didn't bleed off. So if any one has any ideas for me to look for it would be appreciated. If I can fix it I'd rather do that than pay some one a bunch a money. thanks

Check both the intake gasket and head gaskets and let me know if you see anything. Also, make sure there are no leaks from the heater core hoses.
