I am leaking anti freeze from the BOTTOM of the motor. It is not coming from the hoses or the radiator. coolant is puddling in the bracket on the bottom of the car and splashing when driving. Is this the water pump that is leaking... could it be the freeze plug? Please help soon...

I'm not a mechanic, but I own a 98 Lumina that had this problem. The water pump is towards the front, so that's not likely to be the problem. The mechanic that repaired mine said there is a seal at the bottom rear (closer to passenger side) of the engine that wore out and he replaced it for me. After that, I haven't had any problems with it leaking.
