Could be a by pass hose or your water pump is bad if these are all ok then you more than likely have a bad head gasket. you will probably have to pressure test your cooling system in order to locate the leak.

It could be the water pump if the front of the engine is on that side. or heater hoses. with the engine cold, fill the system full. use straight water so you won't waste anti freeze. run the car until it gets hot. the system will pressurize. inspect the suspected area. the leak should be apparent. if the leak appears to be running from the engine block, it's most likely the pump.

Leaking anti fz.near pass/side tire

not sure what side is the front of the motor on that but likely the front is toward the passenger side. it's likely leaking from the "weep" holes on the water pump. have it put on a lift to check that or if you can get under it enough and use a flashlight have a look there.

Leaking anti freeze. Not from hoses. Behind the Radiator. On top of the front where the tires connect.

sounds like your water punp. remove your under cover panels and look. let it run till it gets good and warm. then look for leaks while it has presure on it

Anti-freeze is leaking from the right side of my car towards the front right tire. It's not leaking from the radiator. I have to constantly refill the refill container that holds the extra anti-freeze.

Cheap fix first: inspect the line connecting the overflow jar to the radiator. Inspect the overflow jar for cracks. Does it leak while it's parked? Sight down to the puddle from under the hood, It should show you where it's coming from. That's a nine year old car. If it's hard to find you'll need a pressure test (any shop). Perhaps you need new hoses and clamps? Perhaps you're due for a flush and fresh coolant? How long has it been, how many miles? Coolant's a maintenance item. The worst case scenario would a leaking head gasket. It's a joint partway down the engine a few inches below the valve cover(s), Not as common, but it will only get worse. Coolant problems are best dealt with before summer arrives and you become stranded on the x-way.

Anti freeze leaking

Sounds like they installed the pump incorrectly. Gasket misalignment? Started right after the waterpump was installed? Hose clamp not quite tight enough? Just a thought. The passenger front wheel area is just the right area for it to be the pump. I hope this was able to help you. If you still need me, I'll be here. Best wishes to you.

Anti-freeze is leaking from engine 1999 plymouth voyogar

Have someone top off the cooling system and run a pressure test to find the leak. There are a lot of places it could leak from. Do you see coolant dripping on the ground and if so in what area of the vehicle is it coming from? Front, center, right side behind tire? Need more info to be of any help.
