I just need a lift now. It looks straight forward. It seems odd that it is leaking from the back part of the engine almost immediately when I refill the reservoir. Could it be a hose? Where does the coolant go immediately after the reservoir? It's like it is draining and running to the lowest point of the "skid plate" and then to the floor. Thanks again.
No lift needed... I did mine while it was perched on 18" tall stands. Lots of clearance.
As for where it's leaking from, lift the car and stick yourself underneath while a volunteer fills the reservoir.
