i just purchased this car and it is leaking antifreeze from the front of the car right behind the a/c unit and I can't find out where it is coming from. can you advise where it may be coming from. The radiator hose is fine and tight and not leaking .

Your going to have to get a bright flashlight and a extend able mirror so you can see where it's dripping from.You can also get a coolant pressure tester to pressurize the cooling system to help find the leak.There is also coolant leak dye but that is pretty messy when you drain the coolant.
