coolant leak

[dsm2009]

so my car is leaking coolant but not from the typial hoses, its leaking alot to were I Have to buy2-3 bottles a week. So I think its leaking from a hose next to the alternator and Iwas wondering if this was a special type of hose? I would like to get it replaced before I drive around with it leaking. So any help would be appreciated. thanks

no you can just go to any napa or autozone and they should have it. but you should find where its coming from first

is there any wet spots in the engine bay?

Is it leaking on the ground? Or are you burning it off very quickly? Or could it be your heater core?

It only leaks after I go somewhere and I can see it dripping from the oil fitler and it leaks after the car is turned off and it just drips alot of it. You can clearly see that it leaves a puddle of antifreeze and a stream of it. There is no wet spots under the hood

Had a same leak ,and yesterday i fixed it, The coolant was leaking from one of the freeze plug,which was right under the intake manifold.It was PITA to fix it,but no more leak..... Check the all of the freeze plugs

Or maybe the water pump, granted it is on the same side. Check that too.

the water pump is brand new, I just ziptied it for now and it has stopped leaking, but I'm going to fix it this weekend and just go and buy a new hose.
