The leak

Seems it is antifreeze. 'Puddle' on the shelf was greenish this morning. And I could see some 'spray' on the fan and firewall. Not sure where the leak is coming from and the reservoir doesn't look low to me. And the temp was fine when I ran it Wed and Thursday evenings. I'm working on it this afternoon.
 
Good luck with it. Sometimes a leak will present itself if you clean every suspected area well and then let the car heat up on idle. Once you get up to pressure shut her down and go over it with a drop light. Coolant leaks are sometimes difficult to find and the breeze created by driving can spread it out to areas that you don't necessarily need to be looking in.

I'm going to clean her up this afternoon, take her for a spin and see what I can find. We just had a leak fixed at the top seam of the radiator a few months ago. Thanks!
 
Found it. Seems to be coming from around the cap. Which is odd, since I noticed the leak on the floor after it sat all night long. Simple fix though, gotta love it!
 
Yea, what's up with that???
 
Hey just to let you know, you can get a light like on CSI for around $20 that shows antifreeze leaks. Saw it at the local NAPA dealer.
