the charcoal canister has nothing to do with coolant... it just absorbs fuel vapors from the tank as it pressureizes and then the vapors are sucked back into the intake. As for your coolant leak it sounds to me like a heater hose is leaking. My suggestion to you is to go to the FAQ section and download the FREE FSM and check out the cooling system section. good luck

Your best bet would be to pressure test the coolant system.

Stop leak is trouble... just find the leak.

You can download the FSM (factory service manual) in the forum FAQ if you want to use that. The charcoal canister is unrelated. There's the heater core, the hoses, the radiator and water pump (front of engine). I'd guess heater core or a hose.
