I can't see where it's leaking from or why it started to leak.

Hi,

If I recall correctly, the bleeder on the 2.7L is located at the front of the engine on the water outlet connector. Is that correct? If it is, check to make sure the hose itself isn't leaking. When the engine is cold and off, place your hand along the hoses near the bleeder to see if you notice anything wet.

As far as the radiator, there really isn't anything you did that would have caused it to leak. However, anything is possible.

If the hoses are dry, we need to find where the leak is coming from. Take a look through this link and let me know if it helps. It covers how to locate and repair a coolant leak.

Also, let me know how bad it is leaking and approximately where you see it under the vehicle.

Take care,

Joe
