coolant

Have a promblem coolant coming from the front of the engine.... Does'nt look like its coming from the water pump but IDK..... I put coolant in with the car off and it just pours out the front off the engine down over the opti. I can't really see if its the water pump due to the river of coolant. What I can see is that it really does'nt look like the water pump. What else can it be?

Hole in the hose or hose not connected properly. That is the last place you want any moisture so be sure to fix it fast! The waterpump is the usual culprit. There is a weep hole under it and when it starts to go bad it will drip on the opti. If you take the pump off to check it unless it was replaced recently i would go ahead and get a new on since they can go bad at anytime with high miles.

Ihope its just a hole in the hose. I took a look under there and at the hose's and did'nt see it leaking from one idk. As soon as you put water in it comes right out.

You need to jack it up,use jack stands, pour water in, crawl under and see where it's coming from.
