    My car is leaking coolant on the drivers side near the coolant tank, not sure exactly where it is coming from but it only leaks after shut down. I just flushed it, (it was leaking before I flushed it) could it be i just overfilled it because the past couple days it been HOT out (like 120F) so Ive been adding coolant as needed or could it be from them spring type hoses clamps? or even something else? Any answer helps.

    Check the coolant elbows by the alternator, the lower intake manifold and the water pump. The first two seem very likely.

    Im confused.. "DRIVER SIDE" next to the coolant tank? Do you have a 97? If not your coolant overflow tank is on the passenger side. IF thats the case see above post and check your elbows.
