I have a 1999 that has 187000 on it. The head gasket blew three years back, but was repaired by meinke back then. As of the last couple of days, I started to smell antifreeze, well now its leaking from under the car. I can not pin point where its coming from. I just discovered it tonight. Its leaking pretty bad though. When the radiator cap is on, without the car running, Cool engine...its just a drip. Without the cap on, its a very steady drip.

When the car is running, its still a steady drip as well. Ive checked the hoses so far, and have not come up with anything.

I drive the car often, and when I got home tonight, I noticed a pretty big spot in the driveway, where I park at. So I suppose, that leaked out lastnight.

How is it leaking, when the car is not even running?? Does it sound like a bad hose? Or the water pump....and im sure the car will over heat, when the antifreeze is all out of it. But as of now, I just put some water in it, to get back home...which is a 5 mile drive.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Ty very much!!!

Try to pinpoint where it is leaking from, your description is vague.

LIM is notorious, could be a head gasket, could be hoses, radiator, etc......

I would try and pin point where it is leaking from. In my experience if it is leaking from the rear of the engine it might be a freeze plug. I have also heard that 350's are know to blow intake gaskets as well. But if you had the head gasket replaced that should of been done too. The heater control valve is another thing i would look at. Hope some of this helps. Keep us posted.
