Usually, it will be the water pump but to be sure use a flashlight from under the engine to confirm there are two guides to help pinpoint the leak.

I will let you know. Right now, it is at a shop to get the fuel pump replaced. It could be a while; they are backed up for about a week. Thank you for responding. It seems like a lot of people seem to have the same problem. It makes me wonder if I bought the wrong vehicle.

All vehicles have problems so I would not worry about that, repairs can be sporadic or occur in waves, please let us know what they find out, we are interested to see what the problem is.

They told me that when they had it idling and ran it short distance, they could find no leak. I drove it 22 miles with no leak. Care to make a guess?

Yes, the water pump can leak and then stop leaking. Can you check out the guide in the second post?
