When I stop driving this car and park it in the driveway over night, I will find a puddle of antifreeze under the radiator/ overflow tank. I cannot see any leaking hoses or radiator leaks, but the overflow tank is empty. I tried a new radiator cap, but it continues to do this. Also the motor (3800 V6) runs very good.
Any ideas?

Hi:

Is the over flow located on the passanger side inner fender? If I'm correct, the waterpump is right below it. Check it for leaks. That may be where you leak is coming from.

PS: Let me know how it works out for you.

Hi Joe,
I will check that out. Maybe a gasket leaking after it builds up pressure?
Thanks,
Wayne
