Anti freeze leaking?

i pulled into my driveway yesterday, and i noticed a little bit of steam coming from under the hood....opened it, and the was antifreeze evrywhere...i look under the car...and its literaly pouring out....i though the hose had a leak....replaced that....and started it up...nothing changed...still leaking like crazy...

resonce to your leak problem

sounds like your leaking from the weep hole in your water pump. check to see if that's where it is comming from. it's the little hole generally on the bottom side of shaft where the pully is conected to. this is pretty normal.
