1994 Chrysler Concorde leak under car please help
Hi,
My son called me and said his car was leaking under car.
I went and looked at it and there was antifreeze all over the ground then checked under hood and empty overflow reservoir.It happens occasionally in our various older cars especially with really hot weather this summmer, AC on
etc. So I put coolant in reservoir and didnt fill up as looked underneath and saw a leak coming from almost middle of car and can't exactly figure out where that leak is coming from. I drove it home and put a pan underneath and hope you can see and help me figure this out. I asked him
if the hot light indicator came on and he said no but admitted he was in a hurry and parked in an area in our driveway that has some sharp concrete and
we have gotten flat tires here before and thinks that may have been the problem! So...looks like 2 spots leaking-and does look like antifreeze and maybe water or? Any help appreciated including a photo or diagram that shows what parts are there or any other help. Money is very tight right now so hope i might be able to fix myself--Thanks so much!

rad leak
Hello;
Can't really tell where the leak is coming from,but have you ckecked the hoses,the clamps could be loose,or the hoses could be cracked and dried out. There also are the lines from the auto transmission. Usually they are metal flanges about half in. or 3 8ths.,that connect to the rad. If you have AC there usually another rad for that.
Also,you did not get in an accident if so the rad itself could be cracked or there is a leak in the rad. If so DO NOT USE BARSLEAK! Use the silver aluminum powder,can't remember the name,but it's available at all parts stores.
Good Luck
Not a mechanic but have had similar problems.

Thx. for all responses
I appreciate the feedback. Obviously I need to get under car and pinpoint the exact source of the leak but was hoping to possibly find a diagram or pic. of the bottom of the car to help identify as that car is so low and dont have lift or ramp or $$ to purchase or for mechanic. Will try to update-thx again for all your input.
