Where is the antifreeze leaking from on a 1995 pontiac...

[howler2345]

...sunfire? It is a pretty bad leak...theres 2 huge drops coming out maybe every second. It seems as if it is leaking from behind the engine and looks like it is leaking on top of the oil pan and then dripping down into 2 seperate puddles. i was thinking that maybe a hose is loose? I really need to put the car on a ramp to get to it, and i dont have one so i was hoping i could get some advice to what it might be before i go and hand it over to a mechanic.
i cant get to the leak without using a jack or ramps...i have a jack but i dont trust being under the car with it under there...it is a little bent :-/

Just try to find the source. It could be anywhere so we can't really help. It could be a hole in one of your hoses, a leaky radiator, or your reservoir could be leaking. Just do your best.

Here's a little suggestion try calling around and see who offers a free exhaust check and once they've it in the air look under the car or suddenly mention that you've notice coolant leaking .Your car is at the age that you should have the exhaust checked annually anyways, plus leaky antifreeze near by exhaust can cause exhaust pipes etc to end up having problems too. A good shop will probably spot the leak and tell you about it before you can say a word about it.
I think by what your saying it's a leak off a heater core hose.Look under the hood at around the centre of the windshield there should be two small hoses there and compare where you saw the leaking , plus check the hoses once car is running to see if you can feel or see leaks , just remember once car is warmed up these hoses get hot.

Hope that helps and best of luck.
