I have just had the radiator and water pump changed on the engine. It now has a determined leak under the motor? near the waterpump. The temp outside is near 0 degrees and of course there is no heat either. I do not know if it is the heater core or the water pump leaking. Help!

Signs of leaking heater core foggy widows with like oily due
you said water pump is new
check the hoses
if coolant is low = no heat
check the lines running to the rear of the van to the rear heater
they are known to rust and leak
almost under the front passenger side behind the right tire
good luck
let me know
