I'm Leaking prestone fluid !!! :(

Hey all,

I took a trip to TO from montreal this weekend. I was cruising at around 150km's most of the way down.

Went i got there, i parked and went straight to sleep.
I awake the next morning only to find alot of prestone fluid under my car. It looks like it's leaking from where the belts are. How can this be? Are there any pipe around there that could make it leak there or something?

I've never had this happen, so i'm not to sure what to do in this case.

I filled up the missing prestone with water in the meantime, but i'd like to get this fixed if it's a big problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks a million

The Thermostat housing is in that area. There is also the lower Rad hose attached to the thermostat housing.

The water pump is close to that area, but I hope that is not your leak because it is difficult to access and is big $$$

Either the water pump, or the hoses that connect to the water pump. Need to get that fixed ASAP because if it's a hose you could have a sudden loss of coolant if the hose fails.
