leaking antifreeze
I have a 2000 XJ that is leaking antifreeze after I shut off the engine. No water in the oil, replaced radiator about 6000 miles ago any ideas?

What about water pump? Any coming from thermostat housing, or over flow bottle could also be cracked. Clean the engine and keep an eye for any wet spots after engine dries. It may reveal it's secrets

the best way to find a coolant leak is to pop the hood and take a look. If its leaking when you shut it off first place i would check is the water pump, there is a little hole in the pump and if the seals go bad coolant will run out. Coolant will leak from behind the pulley if this is the case. Take a look and let us know what you find
