Default Antifreeze Leak

The Antifreeze is leaking from behind the engine. The car is not overheating or anything. I dont think it is a blown head gasket, because there isnt white smoke coming out of the exhaust or anything like that.

I am going to have a leakdown check done today to make sure. is there anything else it could be from. Is it a bad hose somewhere or what. How many lines have Radiator fluid running though them.

There's a lot of stuff with coolant running through it on the back of the motor. Your best bet it to get a light and look around for the leak. A mirror is helpful as well.

I didnt think about a mirror. But it is so hard to see anything because the charger is in the way. I will try the mirror idea and see if anything is coming out.

It usually helps to get under the car, if you have ramps or a jack stand it makes it a lot easier. Do NOT get under the car with just a jack holding it up, or Darwin will kick your ***.
