My engine is leaking coolant?

Your adding a lot of coolant. Make sure you keep it full till you can repair it. Do not use a sealer as it will clog up the rad and heater.

OK THIS IS MY 3RD ATTEMPT TO SUBMIT THIS, NO CLUE WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE SITE, A FEW GLITCHES HERE LATELY.

AS FAR AS YOUR LEAK, KINDA VAGUE ON THE LOCATION, IS IT FROM THE RADIATOR OR FROM THE ENGINE?

THE RADIATOR IS NOT USUALLY A HARD ITEM TO PULL OUT/ REPLACE/ OR HAVE REPAIRED/ AND REPLACE

SOMETIMES A HOSE, OR ANY LEAK FOR THAT MATTER, CAN SQUIRT SOME DISTANCE, AND FOOL YOU INTO THINKING THE LEAK IS IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

A HOSE WOULD PROBABLY BE AN EZ FIX, FOR YOU

A SMALL INSPECTION MIRROR, OR EVEN A "COMPACT", STOLEN OUT OF ONE OF THEM EVIL FEMALE'S POCKETBOOKS, USED ALONG WITH A GOOD FLASHLIGHT, MIGHT PIN DOWN EXACTLY WHERE THE LEAK ORIGINATES FROM.

YOUR MENTIONING THE PULLEY AND BELTS, STEERS ME TOWARD THINKING. "WATER PUMP". EVEN IF THESE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME YEAR AS YOURS, LOOK THRU THEM AND SEE IF THIS KINDA THING SOMETHING IS SOMETHING YOU ARE "TOOLED UP" FOR AND CAPABLE OF DOING?

CHANGING MY SEARCH WORDS, OR CLICKING ON SOME OF THESE, AND WATCHING THE RESULTS DOWN THE SIDE, MIGHT PRESENT BETTER VIDEOS TO YOU.

IF YOU THINK THIS SORTA REPAIR IS OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE, LET ME KNOW, I CAN THROW OUT SOME PLACES TO GO/ PEOPLE TO SEE, WHICH MIGHT BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO ONE OF THOSE LARGER EXPENSIVE SHOPS/ THE DEALER.

If it's overfull it will do that. But have it pressure checked for internal leaks. Check radiator for cold spots, if there are then the radiator is bad and needs replacing/recoring

Maybe head gasket leak into cylinder(s). Have pressure tested, drips of water is normal to be seen dripping from exaust (see if yours is excessive). Sometimes A REALLY CLEAN SPARK PLUG is a sign of water in cylinder. See my profile

Is this spout on the bottom of your radiator? Thats the drain plug! See if you can snug it a little with regular pliers, not too tight! Try this when the motor is cold! If it continues to drip, buy a new draincock!

I've heard stories about how the extra heat generated by the AC system can cause coolant leaks in unusual places. Can you be more specific - is the coolant leaking in any certain area - from the heads, from the radiator hose? How much coolant - does it drip onto the ground - I.E. LOTS of coolant?
Does it puddle in the middle of the engine block, then drip. Or just drip onto the gound? Please provide more info if you can!
