Coolant leak, oil pan covered in sludge

[Mistaspakles]

Just recently I noticed that I'm losing coolant, and pretty consistently. The floor on my garage show very little from the leak, but I just put in quite a bit of antifreeze/water. In looking from underneath the car, the oil pan is smeared in gunk (i'm thinking it's the coolant). It's pretty dirty around that general area too (oil filter housing, coolant line, etc). Any guess as to where this leak is coming from?

Thanks,

Just follow the water lines and I'm sure you will see it. Have the engine running so that the system is pressurized, otherwise it may not leak. Look at the upper and lower rad hoses, coolant lines for the turbo, throttle body, oil cooler, and heater core.

Run to the autostore and grab a UV dye kit. It's about 20 bucks, but it saves a lot of headache. You just dump it into the coolant, go for a drive, and have a look.

Good call!!!! On teh other hand; it's a DSM, if it's not leaking i'd be worried that it's out of said fluid :
