My '95 240sx has just recently started leaving a little puddle of coolant everywhere it goes. At first I thought this was from an excess hose spilling out, but I have since found that much of the lower part of my car's engine, suspension, and belt assembly have been getting very wet with antifreeze/coolant. It drips from behind the main belt assembly on the engine itself, could this be caused from a cracked block? I thought it was just a leaky hose and looked for one that was dripping or spraying excess coolant everywhere, but I could find nothing so I assume it's coming from the engine... If anyone has any ideas on this matter or experiance with coolant leaks such as this please let me know what you think the problem is.

inspect closely by the waterpump and thermostat. your block is not cracked. the head could be warped, the headgasket could be cracked. but by guess would be the water pump or thermostat. look for a white, crusty film because as soon as coolant leaks out when the engine's hot, it evaporates.
