Coolant Leak-Alero

[vponticello]

I have an 01 Alero 4 cyl, 115k miles and recently my coolant light came on and white smoke was coming from under the hood. I stopped and checked the reservoir and it was empty. I filled it with the green stuff (that's all I could find) just to get me home. When I got home, I checked under the hood and all the hoses were okay and nothing was leaking. But under the car there was a steady stream of coolant running off the oil pan.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the leak? Could this be a water pump problem and it's just collecting on the oil pan? Are there any coolant lines running near the oil pan?

Welcome to AF !

Not a good sign when coolant pours out.

If you had Dexcool in your system and mixed green in it makes a sludgy goo that doesnt flow through the engine well at all.

Thier are a couple heater lines that go into the firewall behind the motor.

Start thier, but a freeze plug could be leaking. The head could be cracked. Its hard to say with out thoroughly inspecting everything.
