antifreeze leak... HELP
sup guys... i pulled in to park and all of a sudden my antifreeze begins to leak from underneath the car near the passenger side wheel. i attempted to look but can't really find where its coming from... suggestions?
How bad is the leak? If it's gushing out, a hose probably cracked under pressure.
On the passenger side, there's the thermostat housing, hoses going to the heater core inside the car, and you could maybe say the lower/upper heater hoses are near the passenger side wheel.
Are you positive it's antifreeze though? The AC moisture drain pipe is near the passenger wheel, at least on the 4th gens.

Inspect/Replace your radiator and coolant hoses, inspect the water pump to make sure it is not coming from there. Your coolant hoses need to be replaced about every 60,000 miles. When you replace the radiator and coolant hoses it is a good idea to replace the hose clamps as well, and sometimes you may need to double clamp to keep from leaking. To check to see if it is a radiator/coolant hose run your car to operating temp so you have pressure in the system and then check the hoses, all you have to do is squeeze the coolant and radiator hoses while the system is pressurized and if it is a hose it will leak, and you should be able to see where. If it is not a hose get a pressure test, however it sounds like one of your hoses is leaking.
