Coolant is leaking out of a sensor located on the engine passenger side in the wheel well. I cannot figure out what this sensor is. Please help. Thanks.

Good evening.

Can you post a picture of what you see? There are so many sensors it is difficult to pin point your exact sensor.

Okay, thanks.

That is a block heater. It is an electrical element that goes into the block in the cooling system. There should be a plug out by the grill to plug in very cold weather to keep the coolant warm as well as the rest of the fluids.
