Thank you for your help it was not the heater core, but Iam still having problems with it, I replaced the water pump and from where I saw the leak it stopped, But Iam still having water puddling in front of the radator when I drive and stop very little water, but still water, can the clutch on the fan go bad? What else can I do to fix this?

Hi:
the clutch fan can't leak coolant, but the radiator can. Have you checked around the crimps where the aluminum core attaches to the plastic tanks? There is an o-ring there that can leak. You could purchase a dye, put it in with the coolant, drive the vehicle and check for leaks with a black light. If you are unable to locate the leak, that may be your best option.

Let me know if this helps.

Joe
