Coolant leak

We have a 2000 Savana van and recently had a tune-up done, new hoses put on and coolant system flushed.

We drove 1900 miles across the country for a temporary assignment with my hubbys' job. We had no problems on the trip here however in the last couple of days these is a coolant leak.

The engine is not overheating and the level on the overflow tank as low the first day we noticed so we put more coolant in. There is no coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant. The coolant is leaking near the front of the vehicle.

Is it possible since we are in an area that has very high humidity and is pretty hot right now that my overflow tank is leaking because of that or does it sound like the water pump? The engine runs good so not to worried about it being a gasket or blown head. There is no coolant smell in the vehicle either. Any ideas? We are in an area where we are unfamiliar with mechanics so any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: Coolant leak

No one here can give you any answer but to have it pressure tested and inspected to determine the source, intake manifold gaskets can be a common internal and external leak source. Look in the corners of the intake ft or back depending on where you see the dripping.
