Just yesterday after I got home from work, I smell a coolant leak. The car was not running hot; actually the car was running cooler than normal. I rarely use the a/c because I have the t-tops open most of the time. The leak was coming from the passenger side, bottom corner of the radiator. First I thought it was the drain valve, but that was shut tight and show no signs of leaking. The leak stop fifteen minutes after the car was shut down, and start back up as soon the car is started, before operating temperature is reached. No steam is seen, just drops from that area. Funny thing though, is when you turn on the a/c, the drip move from the passenger side of the radiator to the center of it. As soon you turn the a/c off, it moves back to the passenger side. I have a picture of the leak. I hope someone can help, I think it maybe a leak in the radiator, but I am not sure. Thanks for any help.

It's kinda hard to tell from the pic, but it might be from the overflow bottle if it was too full, or might be from some of the hoses around the water pump.

Did you ever get this resolved. I am having a similar problem.

Well, I have stopped the leak; I add some of that "Prestone Stop Leak" to the radiator. That stuff work like a champ. Later this week I am going to flush and pressure test it. Personally I believe the plastic tank that is on that side has a small crack in it. If that is the case, I am going to buy one of those “Be cool” radiators for replacement. I will keep you updated.
