My bros car started smoking and overheating, the coolant is dripping from under the engine itself, like where the oil pan is it seems to be dripping from there, no hose leaks that we could see, it wasn't dumping out from the fill tank, radiator hose was good, any other hoses that I don't know about let me know with your ideas, thanks, It's a 3.5L 95

I know where it is coming from cause I went through the same thing about 40K miles ago. There is an o-ring that seals the water pump. I finally found where it was leaking from by pumping the radiator up with a pump and finding the water coming from around/behind the bottom pulley. You can buy just the o-ring or replace the water pump since you have to tear it down that far anyway.

Sounds like the water pump. If you unbolt the upper timing belt covers you should be able to verify the leak .
