Can be several things. Bad Radiator, Bad hoses on radiator, or nearby water pump is leaking.

They make a Radiator pressure tester which will put pressure in the system so you can see where the leak is coming from.

    the water pump is new the radiator from what i was told is still good ,cud it be that one of the clamps of the bottom hose came off thats why the coolant is pouring like that!!

  • fordexpert Sep 03, 2012

    The clamp could be installed on the wrong side of the raised groove on the metal casting. The clamp should be between the end of the hose and before the grooved casting. The clamp is then tightened to secure the hose against the raised groove. Sometimes people overtighten a clamp and it can cut into the hose causing a leak. It could be that the mechanic forgot to tighten the bottom hose at all.

SOURCE: Leaking Coolant, but not from radiator???

is it possible it is your overflow bottle leaking or too full? If not These cars are bad about headgaskets. Start your car remove radiator cap and let it idle till it is up to temp and top radiator. If you have a leaking gasket or cracked head you would most probably see bubles and the water will try and come out of the radiator fill. What hapens on many is while your driving, combustion gases force the antifreez out into the overflow and it fills up and spills over.

Could be the overflow canister or a seal in the front of the engine. Have the system pressure tested to be sure of the origin.

The coolant leak is probably from the water pump. The seal behind the bearing is worn out. You need a new water pump.

Check your oil if it's cloudy and watery you've got a blown head gasket, a very expensive repair.

I have water pouring out from the top of the engine block, but not from the water pump. Can't see exactly but looks like the leak is behind and above the water pump. Can you tell me the most l

If its not from the water pump or hose it is most likely from a rusted out welch plug , This happens if the coolant is not replaced when needed . To do a good repair replace them all . For a bit extra money find brass plugs, end of problem . replace with good coolant.

I have a 1993 buick regal that has a coolant leak. It's coming from somewhere on the lower part of the block. What is all down there that has a coolant hose

Good morning, go to the nearest car wash and dry your car engine with air, then park it and put carton below it, then check the lower hose first where it has the clip, if its ok then take off the radiator and let them pressure it, if nothing let me know, have a nice day

Loosing coolant underneath engine

Sounds like you have a collant leak from your radiator or from your lower radiator hose. If you cannot identiy exactly where your leak is coming from take your vehicle to your local auto parts store and have your collant system pressure checked. This will help identify where the leak is coming from. These tests are very often free. Good luck.

It overheated, smoking and water pouring

If water poured out you probably busted a hose or radiator sprung a leak. Sounds like that and a bad thermostat or water pump went out.
