cooling system issue

[doriangrey]

This morning i drove my girlfriend to the airport, and back (about 35 miles round trip, mostly highways) and the car was fine.

i drive a 1991 164s (in need of some tlc) I went back out to the car to clean out the inside, and relaized that the car had leaked a little antofreeze onto the ground. I can't be sure where it came from, and i'm wondering if there is any way, short of taking to a shop, that i could easily figure out if the radiator was cracked, or if it was just a tube leaking.

thanks

I don't know, raise the hood? Take a look at the rad and see if you see wetness anywhere? Is the puddle on the right side of the car? If so, it could be the water pump has gone bad or one of several hoses there are leaking. Finding a coolant leak is easy just take a look see. Now fixing it is harder, especially if you are hesitant to look under the hood.
