My 1980 Spitfire (1500 Federal), aside from running hotter than usual, is losing radiator coolant. It tends to pool on the ground directly under the engine (leading me to suspect it's not the heater... but it could be). It doesn't seem to be any of the hoses, which are all fairly new. My overflow bottle is all but full (but not overflowing... yet), so it's collecting coolant, but not sending it back. I've noticed fluid around the filler neck. The radiator has less than 1,000 miles on it since it was professionally flushed. The thermostat is relatively new, but I know that may not mean a lot. I'm not sure how old the radiator cap is. And, I suppose, it could be the water pump, or maybe the water pump housing, though I'm not sure how that could go bad.
So... any ideas where to start on this? Thanks!
