Hello,

On my car listed above i noticed the coolant was always empty but no signs of leak. well, today i see a large puddle under my car. I was wondering where the hose attached to back of my water pump goes to and how do I stop it from losing coolant?

Hi,

Take a look at the attached picture and let me know where you see it leaking from. Have you determined it is a hose?

I have hatched pictures below. Take a look through them and see if you recognize where you see the leak. I know there is a steel heater hose that runs under the intake that can rust and leak. It is in picture 3.

Let me know.

Joe
