Had radiator, thermostat, coolant container, main hose to radiator all replaced 1 month ago. Last night driving, got hot, stopped and added coolant twice to get 4 miles. This morning all on ground under car. Center/right of engine compartment on ground. I am not mechanical. Is there main hose which could have come loose? Rented car again today. Engine diagram would be helpful to see possibilities. Taking back to same shop in Miami for 4th time with cooling problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Can't afford this.
The Jaguar XK8 has a coolant hose on the rear of the engine that is prone to leaking. The leak is typically on the right side, right above the catalytic converter. There is a quick disconnect fitting that has an o-ring in it. This O-ring fails with age, and the coolant leaks from the connector.
what about 2001 F150. Water pours
I had plenty of coolant, as fast as I add it it pours out

It is surely a leak ,the coolant can go anywhere like apart from leaking,what is happening is when you are driving it leaks because there is more pressure in the radiator and it leaks somewhere ,why you don't see it,it is because the coolant is so hot and when the coolant when it leaks then hit the engine that is also hot,this make the leak coolant to evaporates very quickly that why you don't see it.Well what you have to do is top the coolant level,let someone start the engine you lift the bonnet standing in front of it,then tell the person inside the car to accelerate up 3000 rpm for near 10 minutes,then you watch carefully the radiator,hose and all the connection for the cooling system you will surely find the leaks where it comes from.Hope that clear your mind and solve it.
SOURCE: Coolant Leak
rear cylinder block core plug its behind the bell housing.It has been caused by running the engine with no antifreeze which also acts as an anti corrosion inhibitor .
