Antifreeze drip

I have some antifreeze dripping from the driver side. I can't see where its coming from. I took out the plastic in the fender well. I am not sure if it could possibly be the water pump or the freeze plug. Does anybody else have any ideas? I thought about maybe getting some of that dye that glows with the black light. Not sure if these pictures will help.

Re: Antifreeze drip

You should look from the top. Take out your air intake ductwork and look around on the driver's side. This is where your hot water lines go to the firewall. Also, there are a couple of small water lines that go to your intake. You can feel around in there when the engine is cold and see if anything shows up on your fingers.

Re: Antifreeze drip

Not sure about what engine you have, but there's a good chance your water pump is on the passenger side. I would take a look at that. Also, your lower radiator hose connects over there.

Re: Antifreeze drip

Sometimes when it is hard to find the source, coolant dye and a black light does the trick....

best to wipe and wash it down .. then when it is dark out use a light to see where its leaking and use a mirror. the fluid looks oil like but ????

if your sure its coolant then being in that spot could be the water pump ...
