Antifreeze below the engine

BTW, it's a 96 Subaru Legacy Outback wagon w/178k miles.

Hi,

Could be water pump, could be head gasket, but I'd look for a little bypass hose at the top of the water pump first. If your model has it, that's a weak point, especially if it's the original or hasn't been replaced in the last coupla years of so.

As for driving--how much coolant are you losing in how much time? If it's just a small dribble, I'd think you should be able to make sure the system's full and make it to your mechanic if he's not too far away, you don't drive too fast, and you watch the temp gauge.
