eek. coolant leak... help...

[DavidT]

ugh.
I get to work today, get out of my car and I smell syrup
Look underneath and its dripping like crazy. It appears to be coming down from the waterpump area. It hits the y pipe pretty good too.
I let it sit for a few hours, then I start it up to recheck it... it did the same thing within 45 seconds after starting. So I drove it home 15 miles with my fingers crossed. When I got home the overflow tank was just as full as it was before I left. After sitting for a moment, it puddled a bit on the floor.
I will jack her up tonight or tomorrow, but what do you guys think is leaking???
BTW, my waterpump is less than 5 months old. shrug

I'd say take a look at the lower radiator hose because it connects to the metal tube that connects to the water pump. Also there is a seal where the metal tube connects to the water pump.
