ok i have a 96 cavalier and on the passenger side it is leaking anti-freeze when the car is not running and i have a crack in my radiator could that cause it to leak back there
well im not sure where mine is leaking at..but i have the same problem...about once a month i have to refill my antifreeze/coolant because my low coolant light pops on in my 98 sunfire GT. when it first started it leaked one time pretty bad...but since then it hasnt left puddles on the ground at all....sometimes you can smell it but im not sure if its leaking it when im driving or when its just sitting still...anybody have any ideas to help us out on this situation?
thanks
Brad,
When you say 'passenger side' is that on the interior of the car, or under the hood? If it is inside the car, it is your heater core. If it is under your car, inside the engine bay, it is most likely either your water pump or a hose connection. But when your car is off, it is usually a sign of the water pump going/gone.
Adam, check your hose connections and clamps.
Good luck and hope this helps!

Ban low-performance cars, not high-performance ones.
its on the outside of mine right by the passnger side door and i felt around the water pump and it was not wet
Then just look up, trace it back.

passenger side is ALWAYS right side of vehicle when sitting inside, u know the side that PASSENGERS sit on...
where is the rad cracked?
Is it comming out of a little rubber elbow? if so, then its the heater core leaking.
you snooze you lose!
keep working, millions on welfare depend on you!
the radiator is leaking next to the top radiator hose and its not the hose becuse i just put a new one on last friday
I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And For that 11 sec or less it takes me to devour one I am free.
more than likely its the water pump. you have a 2.2 and the water pump is right behind the passenger side wheel. when the water pump is going, there is a weep hole designed to let coolant out. this is to let you know the pump is going and needs to be replaced
yea i felt around the weep holes and it was not wet
n e chance you can get pix where it is wet?
