The van is not overheating...The coolant seems to be leaking under the reservoir area which is located on the front part of the driver's side. It is most noticeable when I am letting the van run just parked in my driveway. Basically all the coolant in the reservoir seems to have leaked onto the ground. What do you think? I don't want to get taken at the mechanic shop. Also, another problem is the A/C is noticeably cooler on the passenger's side than the driver's side. Very unusual...Thanks for your help!

The a/c is a blend/distribution door problem under the dash.The coolant leak..... remove the resevoir and see if you can spot any cracks in it or the hose to the radiator.Sometimes the clamp the factory uses doesnt hold.
