I just purchased this car and it is leaking antifreeze from the front of the car right behind the a/c unit and I can't find out where it is coming from. Can you advise where it may be coming from. The radiator hose is fine and tight and not leaking.

First of all thank you so much for your donation. So are you saying it's leaking from behind the a/c compressor area?

Your going to have to get a bright flashlight and a extend able mirror so you can see where it's dripping from. You can also get a coolant pressure tester to pressurize the cooling system to help find the leak. There is also coolant leak dye but that is pretty messy when you drain the coolant.
