Leaking water on teh drivers side indicates a cracked block or cracked head in most cases. Unless you have a water injected motor, I don't remember Ford using one, there are no water ports on that side of the motor. It could be the water pump leaking and being pushed back when the vehicle is running so check for leaks around the water pump. You need to check the heads, side of the engine block and the freeze plugs to make sure there are no cracks or leaks around the head gasket seal.

1999 Mitsubishi galant v6 has a overheating problem and a water leak from under the driver side

Find the source of the leak to start. This could be from the radiator (replace it) or a hose with a pin hole (replace hoses and clamps).


Or it could be from the radiator expansion tank. If this is filling up and expelling coolant, you either have a blocked radiator (possible for a 16 year old car) or a blown head gasket. A compression test will give an indication if a gasket is leaking (before failing completely).

I have a 1998 dodge grand caravan 3.0 motor and i have replaced the theromostat and changed the radiator cap and it seems to be loosing fuild somewhere

Visually inspect around bottom of waterpump. There's a "weep" hole - it's an early warning system for waterpump before bearing seizes. Also check passenger carpet/floor up to firewall - possible heater core leak.

Top radiator hose is HOT, radiator is steaming

have u replaced the radiator and hoses? Thermostat could also be stuck open. Water pump could also be your issue. with motor cool and of remove radiator cap(cap may be bad as well) top-off fluid and start car check for fluid flow with flashlight. Water pumps typically leak from what is called a weep hole when the shaft seal fails. Yours will be located under the timing cover (drivers side) running of the timing belt.
Hit me up after u have check on these.

Leaking anti-freeze from under the engine

More info needed. Is the leak coming from around the pass side of engine, drivers side of engine, radiator area or firewall area. A specific quadrant of the engine compartment would help narrow it down some. if it is leaking from the engine itself, there may be some expense in repairs (water pump possibility here.) Hoses usually are not that hard or difficult to replace. Radiators get real expensive real quick. Please update Engine compartment Quadrant if possible
