Coolant spill left side of engine
I'm having trouble pinpointing a small coolant puddle that I see usually after I leave the car over night. Started noticing I'm leaking coolant from somewhere around the left side of the engine. I don't see any top side leaks but usually its right under where my ac compressor used to be
Just wondering if anyone's had this problem before or knows something I don't. Thanks guys.

Have you checked around the water pump?

Are you sure its coolant and not oil,
if its coolant prolly from water pump or the radiator.

could also be a power steering leak from the pump or the hose.

Looks like oil to me. Just as wunfstgsr said check ur power steering pump. Also check ur valve cover, headgasket, oil pan and cam gear seals

Re: Coolant spill left side of engine
No its coolant guys, its almost teal color cause I aacidentaly mixed the green crap it had with the Honda blue. I'm getting around to flushing it and using only blue...
Anyway, valve cover is fine so is my head gasket. Power steering isn't leaking although my fluid is dirty as hell, I'll get around to doing a pressure test like you guys are saying. If not then I'll just take off the timing cover and check everything in there.
Thanks guys for the help, I'll update if I find anything (:
