help coolant leak.

seems to be comming from the front of the truck on the passanger side just behind the bumper.

noticed it about 1 day after i cleaned out my clogged rad. used a garden hose and engine shampoo.

topped up the coolant. maybe i bit a bit too much and its just overfilled and comming out. took a peak earlier and could see anything leaking. any common places for these to leak?

One of my water pump bolts broke and i had to take it off cause it would leak coolent. If it is a waterpump leaking you should take it off cause i bet you have the same problem. Taking the bolt out of the block is a real fun job that requires lots of patience and cussing. If it is the pump it will be dripping off of the a/c compressor, so you ought to crawl under there and see if it is. mine is a first gen but they have the same w/p and hardware.

heres the trippy part. it only leaks sometimes. i might go on a 20 min drive to work nothing. i go on a 20 min drive home nothing. i go on a 20 min drive to grab a beer with friends then i see it after i shut the truck off.
