    I just notice a puddle or antifreeze on the ground. I notice the lower raditor collapse so i was thinking the water pump is not working. One good thing. I dont have a overheating problem... any suggestion??? I heard maybe thr hose or something is blocked. PLEASE HELP

    Is your coolant full? Is your thermostat stuck open? Is there air in the cooling system?

    Start it up then look at the hose when it's at operating temperature I bet it's not collapsed then .
    If its collapsing when it cools down your radiated cap is not allowing coolant to flow back and forth for the change in coolant temperature

    Things expand when hot and shrink when cold .
