Hey whats up guys, I just recently discovered that my SR is leaking radiator fluid. It stops leaking after the car has been turned off for a while, but while the car is on, it drips from an area right infront of the oilpan, behind the front bumper, any ideas?

"behind the front bumper, any ideas?"
Well .. that really doesn't help.
Is it leaking from the water pump ? from the thermostat housing ? Can you take a picture ? how bad is the leak ?

I haven't been able to tell where from exactly, just from what region, its not a big leak, its just a drip--drip--drip kind of leak, that seems to stop after the engine has been turned off for a while.

this is a shot in the dark but my car (non SR) is doing the same thing its the water pump
you wouldnt think it from looking but get the car in the air and theres a drain hole on the water pump housing facing down that leaks. It leaks off my oilpan, drip drip drip as you say.. again its incredibly hard to see this unless you have a hoist.. good luck.

I second the water pump. But like the previous poster, this problem was with my KA. Sounds like the same symptoms; little puddle of green. Good Luck.
