Car is leaking coolant from rear of engine compartment. Coolant needs to be added about every week and a half. I cant find the source of the leak and the temperature always seems to be fine but when the car comes to a stop or is shut off after a 10-15 min drive the car smokes. I believe it is due to the coolant dripping on the exhaust. Also I dont know if its related but there is a clunk in the passenger side of the dash when the heat is turned off. The leak appears to be worse when the heat is on. If someone could help me locate the source of the problem id greatly appreciate it. Thanks- jared.
