The water pump bearing may be worn out and you have the antifreeze leak from the water pump or from one of the frost plugs on the engine block it self. Good luck and hope this helps, chances are it's going to be the water pump if it's the original pump.

Where and how do you get to the lower radiator hose on 99 Cadillac sts

Re: Where is the lower radiator hose?(99)
Stand in front of the car, open the hood, and face the engine.

On the left hand side of the radiator, at the top, is the upper radiator hose; which goes to the upper water pump connection.

On the right hand side of the radiator, from the bottom, is the lower radiator hose; which goes to the lower water pump connection.

Where is the lower radiator hose 99
It is a forum and goes on about draining the radiator.

Replace thermostat

Two big hoses attach to your radiator. Look for the one that goes back to the TOP of the engine. There is a housing with two bolts in it that the hose connects to. Drain radiator, remove hose. Remove the two bolts. Remove the housing. Thermostat is inside housing or still on engine. It just pulls out. Remove any remaining thermostat housing gasket material from the housing and the engine. Install new thermostat. Should only fit in one way. Install new thermostat housing gasket and the housing. Reattach hose and fill radiator, leaving the cap off. Turn on the car and wait until car gets to warm condition. You will see the water start to move from the radiator to the engine when the new thermostat releases at the proper temperature. Replace the radiator cap and clean up, you are finished.

Hi I have leaking antifreeze.

First you have to figure out where it is leaking from.
The usual suspects would be the upper or lower radiator hoses, and after that, the radiator itself.
Hopefully it's a hose, they're usually relatively simple to get at and relatively inexpensive.
However, in order to replace them you will have to at least partially or fully drain the radiator, depending on whether the upper or lower hose is the culprit.
My last leak was from the hose running from the engine block to the heater core.
Let me know what you find, and where.

Leaking radiator fluid where lower hose connects w/core

Hi:

If you have a leak near the lower radiator connection that just started, it is either a failed hose, or possibly a radiator core leak that is dripping down to that area.
If you havent changed your radiator hoses for awhile, and they feel soft, it isn't a bad idea to change them both. If you drain your radiator to change the hoses, this would be a good time to inspect the radiator, and perhaps you will find the source of the leak.

Radiator hose 93 chevrolet cavalier not sure if it is upper or lowerthe one cracked comes out of bottom of radiator so i assume it is the lower

depending on how many miles you have on the car i would look at the lower hose first; the other common problem on a 93 cav would be the lower radiator neck or radiator leak; the lower hose has less pressure on it than the upper so sometimes finding the leak can be tricky. with the engine off and cold squeeze the lower hose by the radiator to see if any fluid comes out. otherwise you would have to pressurize the system to find the leak

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gregory_8e6ba270263743ac
