Very weird leaking problem
So after i fixed up my exhaust today i drove down to the gas station and back floored it once and when i got back and shut off the car antifreeze shot everywhere and leaked all onto the ground. so i filled it back up to try and find the leak and no leaks at all. I drove it down the road, looked at it while it was running, and shut off and wiggled some of the hoses. not a single drop!so now im kinda confused....doesn't make awhole lot of sense. any ideas?

If not the only other place I know of would be the weep holes on bottom of waterpump. Maybe just a coincidence with the exhaust.
Did you hear any boiling noise?

Re: Very weird leaking problem
thats the problem is i couldn't find where it leaked out. there was quite a bit of antifreeze on top of the intake manifold so it must have been somewhere near the top of the engine but the problem is that after it leaked out all the antifreeze i went to fill it back up and hope it would leak again so i could find the leak but not one drop came out after i filled it back up and i even drove down the road and back still nothing..oh and i didn't really have anytime to hear any noise because thats how fast all the anitfreeze shot out probably within 10 seconds lol
