There is a pretty good leak of coolant from the passenger side. Right by the back of the front passenger tire. It doesn't seem to be coming from the water pump, but I am not sure exactly where it's coming from. Any help or advice is appreciated.

Hello,

The leak could be from one of the coolant hoses.
The best way to diagnose it would be to inspect the area, possibly from the bottom of the vehicle, as that could provide better visibility of the leak.
If it is still difficult to determine where exactly it is coming from, you could use dye and black light to see where it is leaking.

Take a look at this helpful guide, it covers the usual coolant leaks and how to diagnose:

Let me know what you find or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
