Help! I'm leaking anti-freeze!
I was driving a few minutes ago and my friend said he smelled anti-freeze really bad. I look and I see theres a little stream of anti-freeze coming out from under my car.
CRAP! I drove home as calmly as possible without accelerating over 2000 RPM and I made it home without my temp guage raising higher than in the middle. I looked under the car and the passenger side steering arm is wet and theres coolant dripping from the arm area. It's too dark to see where its coming from under the car. Does anyone have any idea?

Also I checked the oil and theres no sign of anti-freeze. I'm very worried but I hope this is a simple problem

Check your lower radiator hose. Its probably rotted out and old.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's probably just a leaky hose somewhere. I agree wtih Rob - check the lower radiator hose first.

Wow it turns out you guys were right except it was the upper radiator hose and it was dripping off the top of the engine. My brother looked at it this morning to find that the clamp was really loose. He tightened it and refilled and I'm good to go. Thanks guys

np man. I had the same thing happen to me, and I had to 'fix' the crack in the hose with duct tape and drive home, then change it the next day (I already had a spare).
