Pontiac Repair: 2001 Pontiac Sunfire Coolant Leak


Question
My car was overheating, leaking coolant. Replaced thermostat, replaced reservoir tank cap (just in case), replaced fan relay (this was bad). So, now, the car is not overheating but IS still leaking coolant under passenger side door. No coolant on floor in car, plus heat works fine. When touching coolant that has leaked out, it is cool to the touch, which made me think a possible crack in reservoir tank. Nope, no crack. Hoses checked, cannot find leak. However, air seems to be in hose even after taking procedures to remove air.. keeps happening again. Car does not really leak coolant when running, mostly after I turn it off, dripping out with about a two-second delay between drips. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Answer
Hi Kim:

if it more back by the fire wall I would suspect a cracked heater core pipe or heater hose. The water pump is on that sie of the car as well but the leak would be more towards the engine. With out seeing it obviously it's a guess. good luck :-)
