Found a leak?

[g3t_t0rk]

Drove the car to lunch and did a 1st and 2nd gear pull during lunch hour at work. Came out an hour later and saw this! I tried to trace the leak back but it just disappears into the bumper. A co-worker says he thinks my water pump may be going out as older vehicles tend to "***" itself as a sign of the water pump failing. Anyone have this issue or have any ideas? It's been a few hours now and I haven't seen any more coolant leaking

Have you washed the car recently, I had a drip 2 weeks after a wash.

I haven't washed the car for about 2-3 weeks now

EDIT: It also doesn't seem like the coolant is diluted by water either...

Had the same picture of my car when I came out to drive home after work. It was the radiator, drivers side, top corner where the center part of the radiator meets the end cap, had rusted away and finally blew out and was leaking under pressure but not static. Hope this helps. Jeff PS, noticed you have the same paint scheme as mine! Lol.... 2002 GTS here....

Rent a pressure tester from an auto parts store to see where and if you have a leak.

At the bottom of the oem radiator on the drivers side is drain tap, I would check under the car there too.

Did you pop the hood after noticing the leak and have a look around?

get under it and see what's going on ... seems minor.

Well here is your answer. Your car is simply protesting since you have not washed it for bout 2 to 3 weeks.

overflow is in that area ?

what year is your GTS?
how many miles are on her?

Overflow is on the passenger side.

Blinker fluid reservoir?

Overflow is on the passenger side.

Yabbut, it could run out of the fascia anywhere if it came from the overflow bottle. It is a pretty common issue to have the bottom of the overflow bottle be punctured by one of the lower fascia screws just below it.

Anything is possible. It's kind of comical to ask where it's leaking without looking at the underside of the car or pressure testing the system.

After getting another look at it, it looks like it's coming from the drain tap. Oddly enough, it is no longer leaking anything anymore!

what year is your GTS?

1998 with a couple hundred miles less than 36,000 miles.
