Default jeep pissin coolant everywhere

my jeep is at the shop getting a few things done...

Long long story short...last week they coolant underneath my jeep. I had just done a thermostat and new hose, so they thought that was just left over spilled coolant

Brought it back today for them to finish and they said there is coolant all over the underside of my jeep

It has had a small leak from the time we did the tstat....but we found a crack in the hose..so we put a new one on

now its all over the place

any ideas?

i got 3 guess...radiator, water pump or freeze plugs

they said its over my steering so its coming from up front

Any good shop should have a cooling system pressure tester. Its basically a bicycle pump with a gauge.

If they don't have one, see if a parts store will rent you one.

If your paying someone else to do it, they may end up being the same price.
