Alright, well I finally got the pan off and saw that it did look like it was coming from one of the fins. From what I got from it it appeared a nice sized rock had nailed and damaged one of the fins. I tried some of that radiator fix stuff and it stopped the leak. That very next day on my way home I noticed the temp gauge constantly go up and that both of the fans were on. $%it, she overheated again. I opened up the hood and there was coolant all over the engine bay again. Think time I think the water pump is the culprit as I was hearing some squeling like a glazed belt (belts replaced maybe 3 months ago). Now I'm thinking the squelling I heard was in fact the water pump bearing going. I had to have her towed home and have had nothing but tests since Tuesday so that got my main attentions. Tommorrow will be the day I go out and check it out. I know to look for fluid coming from the timing cover. She was leaking it appeared mostly from the passenger side which really scares me because I'm not all that psyched to replace a water pump. Would I have to pull the radiator to replace that pump?
