My 2001 Buick Century, 73000 miles has coolant leak near the firewall on driver's side. I don't see the leak, just the puddle. I had the coolant changed about 10 days ago. Is there anything in the flushing process that might have caused this. I am still about 25000 miles short of recommended hose and belt changes. Ernie

If your leaking coolant around the firewall area it could be a heater hose connection or possibly the heater core. The tubes on the heat core that the heater hoses connect to are plastic and break off the side tank if the hoses are pulled on to hard.
good luck

Since he said "puddle" I'm voting for the cooler core. New leaks often show up when antifreeze is changed. The faulty component is ready to go anyway, just goes a bit sooner.
Thanks Guys. A loose hose at heater coil.
You are about to pay a very expensive membership to the IGF Club. Membership is about $800. Intake Gasket Failure.
Oh! Is that what IGF means? I was thinking it was "I Got F*****"! Same thing as Intake Gasket Failure, I guess...;-)
