Coolant leak - can't find source of leak

[phantomracer]

Just saw a good size puddle of coolant under the rover today. I couldn't see where the leak was coming from. Jacked it up (with stands) and got under and the water pump was not leaking, at least at the weep hole. I just changed all the hoses on the truck. It is not leaking at the hoses as far as I can tell. It appears to be coming from the front of the motor.

Is there something that is more common that it could be? I am thinking water pump gasket, front seal, or intake manifold. None of which I want to think about!!

Any ideas before I bring it in?

Where was the puddle in relation to the car?

did it leak before you changed the hoses???
if not
its one of your hoses.
i replaced mine and the new oem lower hose leaked intermittantly from the vulcan joint
where it y s off and goes to heater.

There was always a small leak of water..and couldnt find it then..but it was, maybe the size of a dollar bill..not it was half the area of the truck in size. Leak is in the same spot it always was.

It was dripping from the center to slighty to the left of center (driver side )of the front of the motor.

Of course, the way water travels it could be coming from anywhere.

check the plate that the smaller hoses go in and out of at the throttle body. its under the throttle body. mine leaked and it took forever to figure out that that is where the problem was.

That was replaced by the dealer about a yr ago due to a leak in that hose...but I will double check that one too

You might think it is fitted ok by the dealer but on mine it wasn't. I refited it and the leak stopped. Double check it and I am sure you will fine it.
