Need a little help please

I have 2 issues

1. When i first bought the car only one of the fans worked (i have the dual setup of course) and now i dont see either one of them turning i was told that the reason one of them didnt work was because it was for when the ac was on T or F? i think false either way i dont know what the problem is

2. My coolant is leaking under the car right now its just water no antifreeze but anyhow it is leaking on the bottom of the radiator and dripping at about a drop every 3 min or so i checked the plug on the back and made sure it was tight got under the car and checked for leaking hoses and couldnt find any??? any other guesses????

is the radiator discharging into the overflow tank? might be steam spray or a leak from the overflow connection or a leak from a hose connection. could be a leak from anywhere running down to the lowest point and dripping. get those fans fixed though our cars definitely need them.

The passenger side Fan only comes on when the Temp hits around 225 or when you turn your AC on. Camaros are this way, not to sure about birds.

As for the Driver side Fan not workin now - you might have a bad connection somewhere, the motor on the fan has died or the relay is bad. hope this helps

1. The AC only turns on the passenger side fan. This fan also turns on when the car reaches 225 or higher. There is a fan switch/sensor in the passenger side head for this. There are aftermarket sensors you can buy to have it come on @ a lower temp.

2. Perhaps your weep hole in your water pump?
