[quote="Cpt. Zapotoski":d904a]I turned on the car and watched the hoses and I didn't see any anti-freeze anywhere... maybe it's a slow leak somewhere? I only see one hose and that goes from the plastic storage where you fill it up with antifreeze and nothing happened.. it looks fine

Anti-freeze is leaking near the OIL PAN, anyone have an idea how the anti-freeze would get down there?[/quote:d904a]

I had the exact same problem a few years ago with a corsica (sp?). They call it a coolant hose leak. If you just turn on the car and let it run idle there won't be any leak cuz it's not hot enough. (when liquid gets hot they expand and stuffs rolleyes: )

ANyway, you will need to go to an auto shop for this, you really can't change the hose yourself unless you have some auto repair experience, and apparently you don't... Btw I heard the coolant can run up to 150C after a long run so it's probably not a good idea to do any "inspection" yourself. If it's the hose will probably costs you ~ $80 + labour.
