My rad is leaking pretty bad, but I cant find the leak, im pretty sure its one of the hoses, because there was rad fluid dripping down in about the middle of my front end. pisses me off, because I took it in and they said that they fixed it but they obviously diddn't, so if anyone has any suggestions about where its leaking from...

Well... I would take it back and show them the leak. Is you cap new? After my coolant turned to slush this winter the cap was fubar and needed replacement.

I had to replace the o-ring on my radiator drain plug. I was getting a very slow leak when the system was under pressure after flushing the system (and braking the aged o-ring's seal).

Hmm. The fluid could be dripping from a lot of different places. I guess you can cancel out your water pump though, since that's on the left side of the car. I say have a mechanic check it out.

turned out to be a rotten gasket on the intake manifold or something, got it fixed and no more rad fluid spots all over my driveway:D
