    My 98' GT gave me the low coolant light a week or two ago. I checked the tank and it was almost empty so I refilled it and checked it again cuz I noticed a slow dripping leak on the ground where I park and could smell the coolant. Its been idling rough and getting hot fast recently. I replaced the UIM and LIM about 5000 miles ago so I don't think its that. Please help

    check coolant elbows and the heater core hoses. It could even be leaking out the very bottom of the water pump and draining down and then dripping down to the floor.
