Wierd coolant leak???
I have coolant coming out the bottom of my engine on the drivers side any ideas???
I just replaced my radiator cap and also my heater hoses (because mine went out and started to overheat my car) and now my car goes through coolant every couple of weeks now.

I have an 88 GXL.

Also check to make sure it's not coming from your water pump.

I am almost done replacing mine... it was coming out like a waterfall....

driver side heater hose, goes under the oil filter.

under the pump? it's probably comming out the weep hole at the bottom which means it's time for a new pump.
