Re: 97 lumina help

the only thing in that area where coolant would come from is the heater core drain tube, all other hoses and pipes run across the front or drivers side.

Re: 97 lumina help

rear is most likely a heater hose. I would also check the thermostat and water pump to make sure the coolant is simply traveling down the exterior of the engine.
