Well Gents:

i turn to you again for assistance/guidance....i've found yet another coolant leak. Its dripping out behind the passangers wheel well area near where the suspension arms mount.

I've had my water pump done and the coolant pipe upgrade (along with all other coolant related lines). From my research it looks like one of the following three:

coolant resevoir crack
heater core leak
t pipe (large t shaped hose behind intake)

What i'm trying to ascertain are any other clues i might be able to use to narrow it down.

I will say i heard alot of hissing near the coolant reservoir when i popped the hood...so i'm leaning that way...

Any guidance would be most appreciated!

If it's on the right side of the car as you describe, there is a very good chance it is the coolant reservoir cracked or a loose hose connection to the reservoir.

Thanks...we are supposed to warm up in DC so i'll pull the reservoir and check the hoses...

My bet would be the reservoir.

When my expansion tank ruptured that is the area the coolant was coming from. The easiest way to find it is to remove the engine bay covers. With the covers removed and the area cleaned up, you should be able to see it leaking. The fluid will run down the fender well. It is very easy to replace.
