    it could also be leaking hose, or water pump as well

    wow..i dont want the head gasket to be leaking. anything else will not be that expensive if i am right. What are other things i can check to make sure it might/not be head gasket.

    Thanks

    Trace the leak as far as you can, it will help us help you.

    Also, take deep breath. Since you actually see the coolant on the outside, it is most likely NOT a head gasket failure. So chill, it could be a $5 part that failed.

    your mechanic could have just spilled some that ran down the motor when he was changing your fluids as well. I hope it is nothing....keep an eye on it for a couple weeks
