First, remember that any leak will run down...There is nothing near your muffler that contains antifreeze, therefore, what ever is leaking has been blown back there while driving. Open up the hood and look to see where leak is originating. check all hoses, hose connections, radiator, rug under heater in the cab and everything associated with cooling system. You will see antifreeze coming out somewhere. Once you locate the leak, I can help you deal with it. Do not open the radiator when engine is hot! Do not drive with low coolant condition! This is not a solution...yet...I'ts the beginning of one!

Water in floor board passenger side of 2001 jeep grand cherokee. Could it be the sun room drain. If so where is it located?

I had the same problem with my jeep. If you aren't positive that it is your sun roof check to make sure that your doors are shutting completely. One way to check is by pouring water along the crack where your door meets the body of your car. My sun roof as well as my drivers side door had a leak in them and instead of getting the sun roof fixed I had sealant put around the rim of the window and I haven't had any problems since.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado has water pouring out from under the dashboard on the passenger side. Help!

The water gushing in on passenger side, is probably antifreeze, check that the heater core isn't leaking. If it is gushing try and capture some of this water and and see if it is antifreeze or just water. If antifreeze then it's the heatercore if water the. It's from the a/c

When i turn on the heat, I smell antifreeze right away then it goes away

Your heater core is leaking. The heater core on your 2001 Jeep Cherokee is responsible for providing heat in the cab of your Jeep. Overtime, he heater core can become plugged with dust or corrosion and stop working causing it to leak. The heater core is linked with the antifreeze that runs in the radiator in turn draws heat from the engine and than uses that heat to warm up the car. Most heater cores are located under the dash on the passenger side. Here is a link for how locate and remove the heater core. http://www.ehow.com/how_5332477_remove-jeep-cherokee-heater-core.html

Good luck! :)

Cold air leak passenger side front kick panel area

I would check to see if the vehicle had an accident and the inner panel or insulation was not installed or not installed properly. Check the under side of the vehicle on the passenger side and make sure the rocker area is not damaged if the vehicle went off road and hit or landed on s large rock. If you have a vent not the inner kick panel, the vent may not be closing if it is electronic or the vent is not closed completely.

I have a 2001 jeep grand cherokee losing antifreeze no leaks.

This is a hands on diag. If no leaks can be found then the coolant has to be going out the tailpipe. Chances are you have a cracked head or a cracked block. New gasget only temporarily sealed the crack. But then we are just guessing.

I have 2001 jeep grand cherokee 6cyl need

On the top of the bellhousing. From the drivers point of view it is in the 11:00 o'clock position. The harness wraps around the back of the bellhousing and plugs in on the passenger side of the block near the oil sending unit.

Brief antifreeze smell in Jeep

Make sure the cooling system is clean with fresh coolant when u change the core, otherwise u may damge the new core becuase your coolant is worn out, if your Jeep has over 60,000 it should be done anyway, also I recommend at least a new upper radiator hose while it is drainned and inspect the other parts of the system.
