Engine Cooling problem
2004 Kia Sorento 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

Never had a problem before today. Noticed that I have a coolant leak appearing at the driver's side...engine isn't running hot. Could this just be a problem with the upper hose or do I have bigger issues?

If it's on the driver's side, chances are it is a hose. They make a pump to pressurize the system to check for leaks. I would recommend renting the pump at a local parts store (some will just lend them) and pressurize the system to see if you can identify where the leak is coming from.

Let me know what you find.
