Not one I feel I can trust enough to say it's just something minor! Just drips and it has to be sitting for awhile to be noticeable. My oil is fine and there's no white smoke.
Antifreeze Leak
1997 V6 3.8L manual
Please bear with me as I do not know the correct parts names.
It would appear I'm leaking antifreeze from my crankshaft and/or where the transmission joins the engine. The area is right behind the oil filter, going towards the firewall. The lower radiator hose, driver's side. has a drip in it's center that appears to be coming from the end that connects to the engine. The car does not run hot all the time, it's rather sporadic, although it has never reach the red line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I check it regularly so I don't put too much in the overflow tank, maybe 32 oz. I don't believe the system has ever been flushed. How is that down? And, is stainless steel or silicone better for a new radiator hose? That might be part of the problem.
Thanks guys, I'll be testing it today.
Okay, I cleaned everything off and it appears the leak is coming from somewhere near the lower hose, but I can't quite see where. The hose is clean near the clamp, but about 2 inches away, on the water pump, it's wet. I can't find the weep hole to save my life!
