Default Coolant problem

My issue at first was my tstat housing leaking bad gasket and bad tstat. Replaced hoses,Tstat and tstat housing with new gasket. Flush the system before as well. All is good until yesterday I noticed coolant leaking on the ground I go to check everything I replace nothing is leaking from hoses or tstat housing. Can't find where this coolant is coming from.Is it possible that I overfilled ? And it found another spot to come out from? I just can't find it I new the water pump could be a possibility but still can't see where it's coming from. Any ideas ???

I'd say, get a pressure tester, pressurize the system, and start looking for the leak. With the engine off, while its pressurized, you might be able to hear it too, which can help you track it down. Over filling it could make it leak out of the overflow bottle, assuming its an open system (post 1991), but it would have to have way to much coolant in there for that happen.

You can rent a pressure tester from AutoZone or some of the other parts stores. Then again I could have been overfilled and just came out the overflow.

Hey guys sorry for the late response I have been very busy. It was just the clamp on bottom hose needed tightened a bit more and moved closer no more leak also there was air in the system so I burped the system huge difference. No I am dealing with power steering leak

Just like your coolant leak, isolate where it it coming from and fix it.
