2g Antifreeze leaking

[97ClipseDSM]

I noticed just a few days ago some minor smoke coming out of the hood on the driver side while i was at mcdonalds at the drive thru. I quickly parked my car to open the hood and saw everything was alright. Untill i looked underneath the car and there was green antifreeze coolant leaking from one of the hoses near the oil filter. I dont know exactly where its coming from but it is leaking everytime i drive my car. Anyone know where it is probably leaking from..i hate the smell of it and everytime i shutdown my car some smoke comes out of the hood..im tired of it..im suppose to check on it on tuesday with my buddys but right now all i can see is it leaking from one of the hose. Anyone else have or ever had similar problem?? if so, what did u have to do for it to stop?

It could be your water pump. They generally start leaking after a while.

It's leaking in one of the water hoses that go to the engine oil cooler (the thing the oil filter screws into). Check the hoses for cracks and replace or tighten/put better clamps on the ends.

That is what i was thinking but let me ask you a question. Untill i get it fixed, would you recommend driving the car with this problem for a couple more days?? Also, you can hear it drip and hear the sound of it, such as when you get some drops of water on yur electrical stove. Also by any chance, would it be possible for the antifreeze that is leaking to get into different locations..because today i saw some kind of fluid next to i forgot what its called but it looks like some kind of pan, it was dripping on the side of it. It didnt look like oil at all, gotta be antifreeze.

If it's just anti-freeze leaking you can probably drive it a few days before fixing as long as your engine doesn't overheat. Just keep refilling the radiator often. It sounds like you've got a leak somewhere more than just the oil cooler if your getting a hiss. You should have the cooling system pressure tested to find ALL the leaks.
