quick question

its about my altima its leaking anti-freeze real bad to the point where i have to fill it up every 3 days or so. it seems to be coming from the metal pipe that connects to the upper radiator hose but its on top on the a/c condensor that where its dripping from could it be the water pump or something much worse??

No, it's not the water pump, as you said it's the metal pipe that connects to the upper radiator hose which connects to your radiator not the A/C condensor.

Sounds like you need a new radiator.

Post a pic, we don't own Altimas here, we own Maxima's.

In my experience, most people who try to diagnose and fix a coolant leak on their own end up with more headaches and more money spent than if they just brought the car to a mechanic.
