Q: Leaking antifreeze

asked by on December 29, 2016

I had my waterpump replaced 3 months ago. 2 weeks ago i noticed i wad losing a lil bit antifreeze. My car is not overheating i have inside heat the top hose is hot tne bottom hose is warm. My friend looked under the car he saw no no leaks at the water pump or hoses. When the guy replaced my waterpump for some reason felt the need to replace the radiator cap. Its 18 pounds. Not leaking alot. Dripps.

After i park it. It leaks if your looking right on the front of the car its right in the center of the license plate. Where the centet of the radiator would be. Any help would be grateful Thanks Julie
