Hello to all, and now a coolant question...

Good, the pic came through.

I originally thought the spring clamp by the right red arrow is where the problem was, so replaced with a screw clamp after making sure the hose is as tight as I could get it. But now the leak seems to be coming from the left red arrow, which I think is the bottom of the pump.

I should add that this is a two owner car before me, with 104,000 on it. I've driven it about 1000 miles since I've got it, and only now has this popped up. Had a ppi done, but this wasn't a problem at that point I guess.

That's where the waterpump is so that would be my first guess as it's leaking from that area but it's hard to completely say without looking at it in person. Of course the two hose clamps on one outlet is not a good sign and kind of a shady repair

Thanks woody, I appreciate the input. The two clamps was my doing in trying to figure out the point of failure. The spring clip was on there, and I just slid it down to try a screw clamp. But when I opened the coolant cap to relieve the pressure, the leak seemed to be at the pump instead.

It's looking like I'll be replacing the pump, and so doing a total coolant drain and flush as well, so I'll replace all of the spring clips with screw clamps.
