Leaking engine coolant from bottom of engine front passenger side
Car is losseing antifreeze from bottom of engine on passengerside i has serpintine belt with 3 pullys the antifreeze seems to be leaking from or around bottom pully
Re: leaking engine coolant from bottom of engine front...
Probably a water pump seal unfortunately. Pressurize the system, with the engine off, use a mirror to look under the water pump pulley to see if any fluid is dripping from the water pump seal weep hole.
If it is, change the water pump.
Good luck, let me know.

There are three plugs on each side of the block under the exhaust manifold and two in the rear of the block between the engine and transmission. If the rear freeze plug is leaking, it can be seen by antifreeze leaking out of the bottom of the transmission bell housing.
what you do is go to a radiator specialist shop and have a coolant pressure test done
most probably a cracked top plastic tank
as for the leak at the back , it could be a rusty welsh plug but the pressure test will also show that
If it is antifreeze, your heater core is leaking and will have to be bypassed until you can have it fixed. Bypassing requires removing the two coolant hoses that go into the firewall on the passengerside, and making these two hoses connect by use of a pipe and clamps. If it is just water, either your drain tube for the ac is plugged, or you have a water leak when it rains, usually from the air vent into the heater box-requires dissembly to get to it, probably a piece of rubber molding that has come loose.
You dont mention the year, make or model of your vehicle but generally a fluid leak on the passenger side interior is a coolant leak possibly from a defective heater core.Does it have a sort of sweet smell like antifreeze ? Also check under the hood to see if your engine coolant is low.
check the carpet under the heater core in the interior. Check the radiator overflow bottle--sometimes they get a small crack at the bottom and weep out coolant. Check for any heater hose or other coolant hose clamp to be weeping coolant onto hot exhaust parts. The coolant will evaporate and you'll never see a puddle. The best time to check is just after engine shut down when coolant temp and pressure is highest.
Most likely a leaky gasket. The water pump is a likely candidate, but also could be from a bad radiator hose/thermostat connection. Would suggest washing down the engine with a hose connected to the hot water. While the engine is cold use the hose to wash off the oil & grease deposits and old antifreeze. Allow the engine to dry without running the car. Once dry start the car and be prepared to look for the first sign of a leak. Sounds like a dealer issue since there is very little work clearence between the front of the engine and the car body. Barely enough room to be able to change the serpentine belt.
engine coolant sensor, unscrewed it with an open end wrench but make sure engine is cold you will loose antifreeze but its ok you can add back when you replace sensor. have a nice day put 50-50 antifreeze
This leak is probably coming from one of the 2 coolant lines that feed and return coolant from the heater core. It best be that you get it repaired before you lose to much coolant.
thank you ur da best
