I have coolant leaking from underneath the engine, and dripping all over the front axle, shocks and struts. The radiator has a small leak in it also but not anything close to the amount coming from underneath the engine. I topped off the radiator this morning on the way to work and by the time I got home (50 mile round trip) I was overheating. Could it be a hose of some kind? Any tips for locating the problem and fixing it?

Thanks!

The best way to figure it out is to clean everything up and trace all external coolant hoses, etc. to the source of the leak. The lower radiator hose would be a good place to start.

if you think its higher than a hose, be prepared to look at the water pump....

try to get hold of a radiator pressure tester some auto parts stores rent them out ( auto zone , napa, trak auto etc etc )...........will save you time and money ,and diognostics will be more accurate !
