    Unknown leak

    Gentlemen, I have this problem. When I park the car overnight I have a big puddle of antifreeze under the drivers side front, I have replaced the expansion tank, hoses, radiator, radiator cap and temperature sensor. It's driving me crazy and any help would be appreciated.

    Remove the belly pans and have a look below with a long flexible led light. See if you can trace it up. These cars are aging and the plastic connections and hoses are giving issue. Hopefully, you used factory parts. I find after market stuff is so-so, depending on the brand and part.
    Regards
